some instances opened cause malfunction application

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

This is wrong. The netdir has to be the same for all copies of the
product (they all have to point to the exact same file), so this would
normally be something like j:\sbrts, but not c:\sbrts, since the c:
drive will be local for each machine and that means each one will be
using a different superbas.net file. That is not allowed, since they all
have to use the same one.

This is too high if you are running more than one instance on a machine,
try using 70,80.

The only interesting error is the first one. Everything else could be
happening because of the first error.

Windows 98 is much more susceptible to having too few file handles and
that sort of thing.

It is, but only because your settings are wrong.
