- ok here goes... these answers are from a help list of internal errors i've got
-
- ie1210 means record not found in index. it should only occur if the database
- is updated without the index being open. it could be a buffering problem
- where the disk is not 100% up-to-date with the latest index changes. one
- comment says that on novell you should mark all your dbf and ntx files as
- shareable read/write. novell 3.x has a habit of buffering at the
- workstation files not marked this way. if a user changes a index field
- and another uses tries immediately after to access it then 1210 can occur.
-
- also remember to set buffers to 8 in your workstation's config.sys file.
-
- good luck, and keep in touch !
