We are experiencing file access issues in our foxpro application. The errors appear to be random and have been occurring on multiple files. We use free tables. This application has ran for years without these access issues but started a few months ago and have become increasingly more common. It is to the point that our clients are having to reboot their servers every morning and even sometimes during the course of the business day. Nothing has changed within the application so we are thinking this may be a Windows related issue.
The errors we are experiencing are:
Error 1705: File access denied xxx.cdx
Error 111: Cannot update cursor xxx since it is read only.
Error 3: File is in use.
What is even more confusing is that if we double click the .dbf file to open it we are unable to edit the file. It is opened as read only when normally it is not. But if you look at the properties on the file it is not marked as read only. This is on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system.
This is not limited to just DBF/CDX files, but other types of files experience the problem - such as Word and Excel files.
If more information is needed please request. Any help is greatly appreciated.
