Friday afternoon, I compiled my app and copied it to the server for testing. On our network, I keep a copy of the exe on each workstatin. When the exe starts it checks the server to see if there is a newer copy - checks date and time. If so, it copies the new exe and quits ( not quite like that but you get point.) This time on 3 machines on the network the workstations kept saying there was a newer version of the program on the server. After much research I discovered that the time stamp on the server was 2 seconds newer than the timestamp on the workstations even though the file on the workstations was a copy of the file on the server. The server is Win2000. Two of the workstations are Win98 and the third was WinMe. As far as I could tell, the other 6 workstations worked fine. What's going on...
A problem is a problem only as long as it has a possible solution. Lacking that, it becomes a FACT!
