TITLE   :Err Msg: Cannot Update File...with FoxPro
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:ENDUSER | BUGLIST3.10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you are using Microsoft FoxPro and open files with the NOUPDATE flag
enabled, the following error message may occur:

   Cannot update file.

This error message occurs when you are using a Windows for Workgroups
workstation and you attempt to open files on a Windows NT server.

CAUSE
=====

The cause of this problem is that Windows NT handles the SMBFlush command
differently than the MS-DOS specification.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, do one of the following:

 - Don't "USE" files with the "NOUPDATE" flag enabled.
 - Run the BASIC redirector with Windows for Workgroups.
 - Use LAN Manager 2.x or Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server
   redirectors.
 - Use LAN Manager 2.x servers or Windows for Workgroups server shares.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
