MS Access Forum / Multiuser / Networking / April 2007Major bug in Vista File Sharing (Peer-to-Peer)
http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=1259708&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1& at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1 This appears to be a problem with the new SMB2 protocol developed for Windows Vista. For a brief description of what SMB2 is, See: http://wiki.ethereal.com/SMB2 Disabling SMB2 on the machine that hosts the share seems to solve the problem. Share works fine when a Windows XP machine hosts the shared folder because XP does not support SMB2 and the machines connecting will use SMB. So far this is an undocumented problem only known by Microsoft's internal support staff, so use this information at your own risk. It is unkown if disabling SMB2 will have any other side-effects. To disable SMB2 on the machine hosting the shared folder, add a registery value named SMB2 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CONTROLSET/SERVICES/LANMANSERVER/PARAMETERS and set it to 0. Reboot. We are recommending that our clients set up an XP machine to host the share until the problem is addressed in a real MS Knowledgebase article with proven results or until a fix is provided. ----------------------------------------------------------- It appears to afflict all versions of access. Microsoft really needs to "resolve" the issue. It is turning out to be a major problems for developers and companies that do not use sql servers. You have to wonder if microsoft "overlooked" this or did they? Do they want to force everyone to sql server? With the number of issues in vista, they should not be distributing it on new systems. That or they should have a "FIX" available and widely distributed. Right now you either have to hack the registry to fix it, or tell your customer go and find and XP box. And of course the HACK is undocumented and does not really say what other effects it will have on the operating system. It is wrong on so many levels. Especially when the customer have no idea of what really is going on. The customer just thinks that it is a problem with "Your Software" because windows vista comes on and office works. PLEASE Microsoft get this resolved. ASAP. Joan has reported this problem to Microsoft.

Microsoft Access Links, Hints, Tips & Accounting Systems at http://www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm Hi everybody, Hi Tony, Thank you for the follow-up. We are waiting for the fix. In the meantime we installed our backend on a computer with Win2000Pro. We lost three days of work and a bit of sleep figuring the problem. It is kind of unbeliavable to put on the market an operating system call business, Vista business, that prevent users to open the same file at the same time. Of cource when it prevent two users to enter a database at the same time, it is critical. But what about the users by the thousand who will experiment locking of their computer just because they are opening an Excel file already open by a coworker to discuss it's content on the phone !!! Thanks again, Céline > Joan has reported this problem to Microsoft. > > Tony Hi Tony, A week ago, you wrote that Joan has reported this problem to microsoft. What was there reaction ?

Thanks, Céline > Joan has reported this problem to Microsoft. > > Tony >A week ago, you wrote that Joan has reported this problem to microsoft. >What was there reaction ? >Any solution coming up ? No solution yet but official news that Microsoft is aware of this problem. Issues that you may encounter when you open or are using a Microsoft Office Access database on a computer that is running Windows Vista http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=935370 and "Microsoft is currently working on a more permanent solution to this problem and will update this article when that information is available."
