It is not generally considered good practice to run the application on the server. It is better to download the exe file to the workstation and run it there. You can check for file version in a startup application and download the newer version if there is one before running it. This is better for resource use, and speeds up the application itself. Why create all that extra network traffic?

>I have stored a VFP application exe on Novell server. I have created a shortcut for the exe file on the workstations having windows98 and XP. On both 98 and XP, the application runs fine, but after closing the application on PC having windows XP, Novell does not release the exe file.

>It does not appear in the task list on the workstation, but on the Novell server, I can see this file in the Monitor NLM. I cannot overright this exe until the user logs off on the workstation.
>Novell version in 4.11 and latest Novell client for XP is loaded on the workstation.
>Can anybody help me solving this issue?
