I have a client/server Visual FoxPro application running on Windows Server 2003 and XP Workstations. One workstation is experiencing intermittant crashes with a VFP error 1502 (File is in use elsewhere), when no other user is utilizing this part of the system. The vendor is suggesting that this is an environment issue.
I have found a number of references to registry settings for opportunistic locking and when checking with the vendor they have said that this should be set to “On”.
However “regedit” shows no key for opportunistic locking at all.
The question is if there is no reference key for it do I need to create a key in order for Windows to behave correctly?
One would have expected all required keys to be created when the network clients were created.
