I have a user who is trying to run both the AREV and Openinsight versions of our product. If the AREV version is up on any workstation the OI version (on any workstation) cannot attach or open files shared by the two apps. If the AREV version is down, the OI version works. Unfortunately, we have a small AREV interface program which must remmain up at all times.

The network uses NT server with Win 95 workstations. The AREV version is 3.12 with All Networrks driver. The OI version is 3.6 with All Networks driver. The user uses NT service. I have not been able to replicate this problem in our office. However, we do not use NT Service.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bob

Follow-Up to previous posting.

If we disable the NT Service, both applications can run concurrently. If NT Service is then loaded, we get the same problem where both programs cannot be loaded at the same time.

Seems to be a problem with NT Service configuration.

Any suggesstions?

Not used the NT Service much (mostly NLM) but check the REVPARAM file to see if anything in there. The last NT Service ran very slowly and when I looked saw REVPARAM had lots of rubbish related to using NPP without NT Service.

Not the same but may be related.

Verify they are using the same version of the NPP in ARev and OI.

Check locking between ARev and OI from different stations.

See what's in the REVPARAM file and make sure there is a ServerOnly=True line in there.

Problem Solved!

The problem was with the network drivers. The DOS System was using "All Networks" the Windows Version wasn't.

Thanks for the assistance and advice.
