I've got an accounting application that uses transaction processing to update several files at once. I've opened the files to be updated in table buffering mode and I've done all updates before starting the begin transaction. Inside the begin/end transaction I've got the usual tableupdate() with a rollback and tablerevert() if any of the tableupdates fail or a end transaction if everything goes okay.

The problem is with a couple of customers who have large data sets on a Novell network. During the transaction, they're getting an error on one of the tableupdates - "record is in use by another user". If they don't update as large a batch of information, they don't get the error.

With their data in my office, I can duplicate the problem on a Novell server. However, it works fine on an NT server or by putting the data on a local drive. Any ideas about what's up here?

Thanks.
