Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

    An error happens when a simple report is called.

    Script:GA_SubCh_Itms line:42
    :Report.Preview("GA_SubChItms",query.filter,query.order,.t.)
    Error adding relation child 'subsc_charged_items': The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. \\server\N\Alpha 5V9 Database\Lazer\subsc_charged_items.dbf

    Also sometimes when two computers are at the same form, the same error appear (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process).
    Looks like is not allowed to have access to shared resources, like two forms using the same table or one report and a form using the same table.

    PS:
    As I wrote in a previous post, we are having a lot of problems, trying to solve problem after problem.
    The indexes problem seems to be ok now, but now this one continues.

    This looks like a problem with how the set is defined. Tell us more about your system:

    1) using native Alpha Five tables?

    2) using filtered indexes?

    3) using a filter specification in the link expression ?

    4) show us the set structure, with names of tables, and link field specifications for each.

    I would expect the same error to appear each time a form based on the same set is opened. i.e. not just when running a report.

      Time to submit a sample database for analysis.
      There can be only one.

        Thanks for your support.

        1) We are only using dbf.
        2,3,4) I attach the set structure, indexes

          I am having the same issue. My problem started after i tried to create a shadow database. I forgot to create the shadow database first in the Network Optimizer. I received the error on the networked workspace. Unable to solve, now the issue is on the main computer.

            In your set definitions, I noticed that you are ordering the child records in descending order, however you are not specifying what field or fields you are ordering the child table on. My guess here is that when you are trying to open the set, it is attempting to invert the records in the child table and is unable to as it needs exclusive access to reorder the data.

            In the attached, I am ordering the child table by "appdate", but displaying them in descending order. You will see that there is an expression used for "order". Maybe I'm completely off base, and someone else will tell me so, but to me it doesn't seem logical that you would be using a descending order for a child table without stating what you want them to be descending on.

              Thanks Tom.

              The changes were made and now we are testing.
              I will let you know about the result.
