I researched and tried everything in the world fighting this issue - my problems were with Novell client and fox. I had open tickets with MS and Novell - Novell said it was MS, and MS said it was Novell. We never solved the problem - we would have problems with win9x based machines running the Novell client. Winnt based boxes ran a different version of the Novell client, and we could move the users to that OS and it would not happen.

As far as recovering - there was no way to recover in the app - you had to restart. Seems like the app was just too confused to recover.

>We are still not sure if our 1104 / 111 / 13 / 1 / 1705 errors are caused by slight network drops, or pure table lockings... if table lockings, we are not sure if they are caused by our antivirus or server settings.. although we have adjusted both per suggestions on universalthread and have reduced these errors.. but we still have them. But corporate policy will not let us remove antivirus software or change much more than what we have done other than in our own code.

>What can we do in our fox code to try to recover from 1104/111/13/1/1705 errors ? Can we put in a longer timeout somehow, so our app will keep trying to save the data to the tables.. and if the tables are still locked it will retry for 30 seconds instead of 8??

>>>Running software that references a network database, we've been getting into plenty of 1104, 1705 and other file reading/writing errors. We've also been able to reproduce a lot of these errors by (surprise) unplugging the remote computer from the network while it's attempting to read/write to the database. The funny thing, however, is that the errors will be avoided if the connection is re-established within 8 seconds. After 8 seconds, however, a flood of error messages occur. Has anyone found a good coding solution for anticipating and dealing with intermittent network connection? Any thoughts? Thanks
