Posted July 3, 200717 yr If an application (Timeslips) opens a file in shared mode, in a workgroup it sometimes fails because (according to filemon) it is denied a file record lock, but this never seems to happen in a domain. This isn't a problem that I need to solve because I'm moving this network to a domain anyway, but for the sake of curiousity, is there a difference in file locking between domain and workgroup servers? I recall that Quickbooks only supports shared mode in a domain (unless there is some kind of server-side component installed). Does opportunistic locking apply to workgroup servers? -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word.
