Hi charles,

>I've been doing this as well, but recently I've run into a problem. It seems to only happen on some Windows XP pro boxes. config file brings tmpfiles to local \temp. Data files on server, EXE running locally. views dbc compiled in.

>On some boxes a view with indexes ( created from metadata in VFE ) will crash on opening. Excluding views dbc solves the problem. Can't reproduce it on any of my dev boxes and on half my client boxes ( even those that shared a common data store on the network. ) Permissions are identical. My only suspicion is it has something to do with which updates are installed though I can't track that.

>Have you seen anything like this?

Well what kind of error you get? a C00005? or another descriptive error (if so what error). I've identified a problem with views and indexes using in transactions and submitted a bug reports to MS, which has been confirmed here by MS on the UT. Maybe it is related.

For the rest I don't get any reports of malfunction, though I'm not that close to the end-user. Approximately 20 clients and 100 users are working with this approach for a year or two now. Did not have any report of any problem pointing in this direction.

Walter,
