some instances of superbase runtime generate errors

Hi people,

When I have for e.g. three programs simultaneously opened at same machine, 
they get some errors...

In other words, multiple instances

This situation don't occur  when I have two... for e.g.

The superbase version is 2.01c, with a single superbas.net  (lan version) 
setup up to 6 users,  and the programs are running  as runtime (sbrts)  on a 
local machine on windows 98,   sharing  same databases.  They are three 
modules of a system.

Inside programs I have:
- On Superbas.INI:
    sblocal = none
    netdir = c:\sbrts

- On Start.SBP:
Set file count 200, 250

All files are opened as " open file share.... "

When I start them, they  get for e.g.  error 65 (can't open this file), 
error 69 (can't open output file),  error 5  (not an open file).... and some 
others...

On windows XP, they don't have malfunction as on windows 98.

I think the cause is SHARE.

How can I solve this?

Thanks,
Massao

Any odds this is the problem: that second number is the max number of  
concurrent file handles Superbase will use - 250 is rather high, and three  
instances may mean up to 750 files open concurrently; I don't think Win98  
can cope with this (but NT/2k/XP probably will).

Try reducing the file count to 100,120 or something similar, and see if it  

Hi Phil,

I did it you told me, but without sucess.

Thank you.

I had a problem like this (error 65) when I added an XP machine to a 
small network (4 users 1 XP and 3 W98). It was a like a network timeout 
problem where the 98 machines weren't seeing the XP drives (which is 
where the data was put) so you couldn't open files because the drive 
wasn't accessessable.  It was an intermittent problem.  I cannot 
remember how I fixed it.  Opportunistic locking off or timeout settings.

Do you ever get any 134 errors, too?
