Mark,

Indeed there is! I think from Win98 onward.

For XP it is ControlPanel-->System-->Hardware TAB-->DeviceManager.
Then expand "Disk drives" then d-click on a drive.
In the "Policies" tab you will see a checkbox for "Enable write cacheing on disk".

MAKE SURE THIS IS ***NOT*** checked.

repeat for all disks on system, then all workstations.

good luck


>I have a customer who is complaining that he can run a sales report at the end of the day and get one total, then without conducting any additional transactions on any of the workstations, re-run the report 10 or so minutes later and get a different (but correct) total. Suspecting caching, I had him uncheck the box that says “Enable write caching on the disk” on the server. He says the problem still exists. If other workstations are still in the app with tables still open with "un-flushed" data, I could see where this could cause the problem. Is there a setting on the workstations that affects caching that I need to change as well? The DBC and all tables are on the server. TIA!
