John Taylor | Using dbisam 4 (not client server) why would I have the lock file showing on
my desktop ? I'm not doing it intentionally , of course. Thanks JT |

If you make sure you specify a folder for temp tables/query results, the lock files will be in that folder. |

Malcolm Taylor | Hi John
It is so long since I actually used dbisam that I searched this group for the 'correct' answer. I quote the following extract (one of several): --------------- <snip> The LCK files will turn up in any directory/folder that DBISAM is accessing data files in. If they appear to be randomly infesting your disk then I would guess that you are using canned queries but are not controlling the location of Session.PrivateDir thus causing it to default to whatever the OS regards as the 'current' directory at app startup. <snip> Place all data files in one location and the LCK file (there will only be one) will be in that location too. <snip> --------------- |

John Taylor | I did find one instance where I forgot to set the privatedir of the
session, I'm sure this is the culprit JT "Malcolm" <malcolm@spam.will.bounce> wrote in message news:5CE701E7-AE9E-4EB4-BA4F-3D75AC530A11@news.elevatesoft.com... > Hi John > > It is so long since I actually used dbisam that I searched this group > for the 'correct' answer. > > I quote the following extract (one of several): > --------------- > <snip> > The LCK files will turn up in any directory/folder that DBISAM is > accessing data files in.
