Hi All ! !
I have been using PB 3.2 (Dos) with (QpakPro.Inc – libraries) for the last few years and have developed a fully fledged point of sale system (www.mandla.co.za/compubyte) that includes full support for networking using the file and record locking functions of the compiler ( Lock# unlock# etc).
This has worked extremely well with Novell/Windows servers as long as the clients to the servers were dos/win95/win98 . . .
If an XP client logs onto the server and uses my program (in full window or smaller window)the following occurs :-
1) 1st XP user can use/modify any of the files and work normally on the server even while other win98 clients are using the server - As soon as a 2nd XP user connects the win 98 clients don’t feel any degradation in speed however the 1st XP user starts to see searches/queries slowing down – Once the 3rd Xp user logs on the 1st xp user is totally locked out of the system or his program reports error: 75 (Access error) – The win 98 machines see no degradation or no error 75 is displayed.
I would like to know what is the problem, could it be the following:-
a) PB 3.2 wont work with XP
b) The network protocol on the XP machines are pre set to use TCPIP – I have installed all other protocols that the win98 clients have and yet no difference – does PB 3.2 support on XP the record locking functions.
c) I used the standard dos window (cmd) to run the programs – have tried using a win98 window yet the program reports error 75.
Can someone please assist me . .
Thanking you,

NB: I have purchased PB 3.2 - I have not used PB 3.5 because I could not get these files :-
$INCLUDE "QPakPro.Inc"
$INCLUDE "DefCnf.Inc"
$INCLUDE "SetCnf.Inc"
converted to use it in PB3.5 is there a quick way to do this ??
