Hi

I have a stange problem and i figure this could be a BUG (not sure).

Earlier I had put the problem on UT but i didnt get satisfactory reply and I havent seen this problem being posted on UT.

Following is my machine configuration -
W2K Adv Server with SP4 installed.
VFP 7.0 With VFP70SP1.MSP + VFPODBC.MSI
CR 8.5 with SP1


Following is my network application setup -
Machine A (NETBIOS name of the machine is SRV) - Main application Server . The application database (WORLD.DBC) with the tables is installed in the share WORLDAPP

CLIENT MACHINES - are configured to start the application locally on their machine but the database is accessed across the network via the following path \\SRV\WORLDAPP

The problem i face now is that when the application is started from a client machine the following error is popped to the user (this never happened to me before applying the VFPSP1)

*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c:\WORLDAPP\Data\WORLD.DBC : Cannot Link tabe '\\... \database\user.dbf' to this database:
duplicate or missing fields. Would you like to try to locate the owning database or
delete the link (and free the table)?

LOCATE DELETE CANCEL
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If i configure my client machines to work in the following manner than the app works fine and there is no error reported.

CLIENT MACHINES - are configured to start the application on the server
TARGET : \\SRV\WORLDAPP\WORLD.EXE
START IN : \\SRV\WORLDAPP


Another interesting thing is this only happens with the DATABASES i have created on this configuration (VFP7.0+SP1+VFPODBC.MSI). My earlier applications works fine and doesnt show any backlink error (possibly bcoz i had not applied vfp70sp1.msp patch).

Does anybody have a similar problem !
