Dear Dave,

Here is the Windows NT 4EO solution to the problem that we have been encountering

PROBLEM

Frequent (daily/hourly) index file corruption
"Dirty" data written to tables

ENVIRONMENT

NT4EO Server, Windows 95 workstations (8), Delphi 1Ex 16-hit application, BDE 2E52, Paradox 5EO tables

CAUSE

Delayed writes at the network operating system level

SOLUTION

Make the following two registry changes to the NT 4.O server:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentcontrolSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"EnableOplocks"=dword:OOOOOOOO
"CachedOpenLimit"=dword:OOOOOOOO


Thanks again for your help!

Alex Glassey
