... or rather, during the morning the small database distributed over two
work stations from a server malfunctioned more and more.
After claiming that indices were out of date, tables can no longer be opened
and I get the error message
"You have attempted to open a database that is in use by someone else, but
the database cannot be shared. You must set the location for the .NET
control file"
Here is the setup: two workstations with XP Pro, connected through wire to a
SBS Server. No connection to the Internet, and no update nor newly installed
software. The server is not connected to Internet either, nor has it been
updated for several months.
The net drectory is the shared root on the server as it has been for more
than a decade (OK we have changed servers).
We run Pdx 9.
I have never previously had any questions concerning "the .NET control
file".
Where do I start looking?

Cheers

Nils
