I've wrestled with the 11013 access denied to table or file ##### (where the file name is numeric) problem with an app installed locally, and even on a a
server over a LAN.  I've read the various postings about anti-virus interference and have managed to cope with this problem by a combination of changing file
extensions and turning off or modifying the AV scanning characteristics.  So far so good...

I *thought* I had a grasp of this issue, but now I have run into a new situation. I've been working on a new app and for the first time I am trying to use
DBISAM (v4.24) running as DBSRVR service on a Windows 2003 Small Business server.  I have set up a folder on the server with all the DBISAM tables in it. I
am able to successfully access these tables via DBSys and through the Delphi 2006 IDE at design time. I can compile the client app and run it locally and
connect over the internet to the remote database.  Very cool.  I can work with the app for several minutes with no problems. I can also exit cleanly and then
reenter the app with no problem.    HOWEVER, for some reason I am encountering intermittent 11013 errors when I come back a couple hours later and try to
log in again.       

I've searched the server (using terminal services) for the named numeric temp file name and can't find it. I've also searched my local PC for the same file
name and can't find it there either.  When this happens, my client app crashes and I have to stop and restart the DBSRVR and then everything works for
awhile. I try the app a few hours later and I encounter the 11013 message again.  There is no AV running on the server. And, I have no problems running the
app locally (nor any of my other DBISAM/Delphi apps) so I don't think it is an AV interference problem on my local PC.

Does any one have any suggestions what I should look for?
 
Thank you!

Use the Server Administration Utility and log into the database server as an
admin.  Check the Temporary Files Directory (second tab - Server).  That is
where the database server will store the temporary files.

As for no AV running on the server - are the error messages that you're
seeing still showing numeric file names ?  If so, then the issue is most
definitely having something to do with AV software (or something similar) on
the server machine.
