- Running MS-DOS SHARE with Windows for Workgroups
-
- Summary:
-
- During the installation of Microsoft Access, Setup automatically
- inserts the following MS-DOS command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- <MS-DOS directory>\SHARE.EXE /L:200
-
- If you are running the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups operating
- system, it is recommended that this SHARE command be removed.
-
- More Information:
-
- Windows for Workgroups has its own sharing mechanism (VSHARE.386),
- which is loaded with Windows (there is an entry for it in the
- SYSTEM.INI file). If you load SHARE before running Windows for
- Workgroups, VSHARE will not load. Everything should work correctly,
- but the number of locks available to you will be limited by the number
- specified when SHARE was loaded (determined by the /L parameter--the
- default is 20). VSHARE, on the other hand, dynamically allocates the
- number of locks available on demand. The number of available locks is
- very important if your Windows for Workgroups machine is going to act
- as a server.
