PRB: Get Info Settings Not Reflected on Other WorkStations (157454)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh 3.0b
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh 2.5b
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh 2.5c
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh 2.6a
This article was previously published under Q157454

SYMPTOMS

Changes made to the memory allocated to an application residing on a shared drive are not recognized by other computers connecting to that drive. This is true if the application program is also locked when the memory allocation is changed in the Get Info dialog box. Microsoft Visual FoxPro, Microsoft FoxPro 2.6, and the Visual FoxPro Support Libraries and executable files created in FoxPro 2.6 are application programs.

RESOLUTION

Change the memory allocated to the application program and close the Get Info dialog box without selecting the Locked option. Then Get Info on the application program again and lock it. To invoke the Get Info dialog box, highlight the appropriate icon, and click Get Info on the File menu.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior occurs only when changing both the memory requirements and the locked status of the application and then closing the Get Info dialog box to save both changes simultaneously. If the Locked check box is selected, the memory settings cannot be changed. Clear the Locked check box to change the memory settings.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. On a workstation machine, highlight the application located on the server, click open on the File menu. The Get Info dialog box appears.
  2. Change the Preferred size under the Memory Requirements section.
  3. Click on the Locked check box to lock the file and close the Get Info dialog box.
  4. On a different machine, connect to the share containing the FoxPro application file, highlight the file, and open the Get Info dialog box. Notice that the memory settings reflect the normal default values.
