Hi there,
>he right? Is MM networkable?
No of course he is not right. I can't believe a guy who *claims* to have
database qualifications (presumably something other than desktop databases)
could ever claim that MM was networkable. He wants people to believe that
just because MM can use a drive that is networked that it therefore means
that MM is Network aware!!!
>I know record locking is not involved but what
>about file locking? Surely this will cause quite a
Joe, the guy is off his rocker believe me. MM knows nothing about networks,
all that it knows is that there is a "mapped" drive available, which to MM
will simply appear as a drive, the program knows about the same amount on
networks as my dog does and at a guess my dog knows more about this than he
does. To MM the drive it is accessing is just a drive...no more than that,
it knows nothing about optimistic or pessimistic locking of files or
records. It does not share a common pool of data and using the normal
domestic connections to another computer it cannot even be accessed across
the network if it is located in its default location, it can only be run
locally.
>problem? He also says its for a book he is writing
>LOL !!!

>I notice as well that once again these announcements
>are only ever responded to by his mate Bob, its exactly
>as you said.
Well yes, he claims to be contributing to a book some one else is
writing...if they publish the fact that MM is network aware he is going to
get blasted from the sky. Its a laugh a minute...truly a laugh a minute.
its been noted before that "Bob" and he make these little conversations.
Its now obvious what that game is about. I look forward to seeing this
book, its going to be interesting. I have been having a quiet time since
these fools were put in the kill file. Its quite obvious that the people
employed to watch over these people have little knowledge in this area, or
they prefer to not rock the boat....whatever it is they are allowing things
to slip. The wheel will eventually come off, but I expect that the only
thing to happen will be that they get moved on.
Thanks for brining me up to speed, I needed a good laugh!!!
