[AccessD] Folder 'Caching'

Hi Erwin,

I am really swinging in the dark here, so this thread probably doesn't track
very well.

This issue is on the server and not on the client.

My customer calls this the Secured folder (it visually appears to be a
normal folder rather than a share) and the IT folks give it some reverence.
I am convinced there is something active happening in this folder to make
the files 'secure'.  I've been wondering if anyone had heard of something
like this being done, but it may be some unique construct by this company.

Dan

I'm not compleetly folowing this thread. 
But are you refering to the Windows Server Folder caching?
It is turned on by default on a Windows 2000 server and allows the
client to have a local copy of a share.
However MD? Files are not allowed to be cachec localy. 

This caching can be turned of on the Windows Server share options, by
rightclicking on the shared folder.

But I'm not sure if it this what you mean.

Hi Jim,

I should have said that my system is a FE/BE Access 2003 system.
Clients automatically pull updated FE files.  Even when they do this,
the new FE on the Client will think that it's supposed to link to the
previous BE file.
If the tables in the previous BE tables were changed, my system has
crashed because the new FE is trying to connect to the previous BE,
which no longer exists.  It only does this once - the next time someone
logs in after an update, everything runs smoothly.

VF!  (Very Frustrating)

Hi Dan:

I have only heard of the caching issue when relating to internet AJAX
applications. IE caches everything and if a data request appears to be
the same or very similar, it is just acquired from the cache. The
solution to the problem is to prefix the date-time to each new piece of
data.

Not sure whether this relates to you as I am not sure how far caching
use extends in the new programs.

Hello to all!

I have a customer who, about a year ago placed my system under a
networked folder they call Secured.  It took me a year, but I finally
was able to see a pattern of errors where updates to my system were not
'seen' by the first person who opened my system after an update, but
they were seen by the second person and subsequent people who opened it.
This has occurred where I made on change on Saturday morning and the
problem occurred on Monday morning.

Today we also experienced an email automatically sent to a Supplier that
had the wrong due date on it!  But when we looked into the back end
later, the date was correct.

Last week I attended a meeting with some IT folks at this company, and
one of them said that he believed the folder was caching changes, but he
didn't know the details. 

This is the only place I've ever heard of this happening.  And I still
don't know what the folder is actually doing.

Has anyone come across this situation?  Do you know what that folder is
actually doing?  Or, is there anything I can do to work around it?

Thanks!
Dan Waters
