<QUOTE>
Presently my AREV-applications are not networked. As my knowledge of the network products is pure until now answers to the following questions would be helpful to prepare applications which can also be used by several users in a network.

Who sets lockings when NLM or NT SERVICE is installed? Do I have to include locking/unlocking statements in my programs or do the network products automatically set lockings?

Do I also need network products when the application is primarily used for information? The contents of the system is updated by one user one or two times every month when they get an update file. The update process is done by a program which also calls an index update.

Any comments are welcome

<QUOTE>All programs have to invoke their own locking via the Lock/Unlock R/Basic commands. It is generally recommended that all applications be written "as if" they would be networked to avoid the redesign you are facing now.



Read only operations won't require this modification.



Windows/Templates will automatically function correctly.



You must evaluate your own risk if you wish to avoid modifications depending on how often a table will be written to.



FWIW,
