Thanks Tom. I use the ADSMGMT program that Roger created. It's just a bit cumbersome to use for the average user. All I was trying to do was show the user who was trying to access the record the name of the user or pc that had it locked. Perhaps I'll just give them the Ads Mgmt console. I took the '...

Hi; Occasionally I get a call from a user that says they can't open a record because it is locked. I know ADS and xBase++ have a few functions in ADSMGMT programs that the user can trace the owner and they work fine. I was just wondering if anyone skipped all the browsers et al and just called the s...

After many hours of diagnosis this turned out to be a DHCP issue involving the 2 Domain Controllers at this site. Very strange indeed. An older Win 2008 Server was there as a backup but was the main Domain Controller and all of a sudden became unstable. Why it only affected 4 PC's out of 24 I do not...

Thanks for the input but that doesn't appear to be the issue. This client put in a Ubiquity network system that replaced the existing firewall and router configuration that worked fine for many years. I would think that if the vast majority of users can get in and process under ADs then it is probab...

I have a client with a Windows 2018 Server running Ads 12. He has a 25 user Ads license. About 18 of his PC's run just fine with my app which runs on the C: drive in a folder that contains the .exe files and all the xBase and express and xB2net DLLS. I have verified that they are all there. Now, 4 o...

Great news. Thanks

Has anyone had any issues with ADS Version 12 on later versions of Windows Server like 2023 or 2024

My client has to upgrade his hardware from Win 2016 to the latest version and I want to make sure it will work

Thanks

Hi;
My customer is currently using ADS 12 on a Win 2016 Server.

He has to upgrade his hardware. He is looking at WIN server 2023 or the latest Version

Has anyone had any issues with ADS 12 and the latest Windows server OS.

Most likely Virus related. I had similar issue a few years back and it was Kaspersky denying access to certain file writing tasks. You need to add the file directory
to the 'exclusions' list .

Hi :
I finally gave up and yanked the machine. I put in a new one and it works fine. I believe ultimately that the PC had some kind of disk or registry corruption.

I tried to access "MY PC" and that wouldn't even open so I believe that confirms my suspicion.

Thanks for the advice.
