[DUG] Legacy App. issue: flushing / committing data changes - BDE paradox Table

[Craig Goodall]

Hi Paul,

I had an old Paradox / Novell site years ago and the same problem. 
Whilst I remember changing some settings in the Netware client, I think 
I solved it by turning off Opportunistic Locking in NT, Win2000 and XP 
workstations. Also check that the PC's have their BDE setting for 
LocalShare set to True.
I found this link in some old notes ...

HTH,
Craig.
