<DIV><SPAN class=703042817-03022010><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But, maybe you
just typed thsi in by hand and didn't cut and paste it from the working
stuff. Actually, I think a -r with something pushed right up against it
would give a syntax error, so this must just be a typo.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703042817-03022010><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As for the -u
stuff... If you run a [dr]report without the -u on the command line, then no,
a [dr]clerk should not be allowed access to that file. That is specifically
what the filePro lockfile is supposed to do. The -u tells the report to
ignore the filePro lockfile. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703042817-03022010><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Lastly, did you
happen to get a look at the size of the lockfile before I suggested removing
it? If it was 64, then perhaps it was corrupted in some strange
way. If it was the larger new size, than this goes back to the mismatch
betwee 5.6 and previous versions... but as you said there is no 5.6 on this
system in question. For the 64 bit lockfile to be corrupted... I don't
really know what I'm suggesting. Meaning if it were corrupted in some
way, it wouldn't allow you access with anything, clerk, report, dxmaint, and
so on. It sounds like you were having trouble with just this one
routine. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703042817-03022010><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I kind of hate
just having things fix thmeselves without ever knowing what was wrong or what
fixed it... so, if the problem rears its ugly head again, bring it up.
We know what made the problem go away in this case, that is not the same as
what "fixed" it. :-( Of course, if you really want a headache free
runtime of this routine, just put a hard-coded "rm" of the lockf* files in the
culprit directory and it seems you'll be fine. Still, a tiny nagging
would bother me forever about having to do this. :-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

it will become useful if the problem crops up again.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
