We've had a couple of 7075 errors after power failures in the last few weeks. This with version 10 Local Server CBuilder (Delphi) components. We managed to fix one customer by reindexing the files from the workstation that had the program open when the power went out. Now we're having a similar problem at another site but they are having network issues after the power outage and so far that particular workstation can't get to the data on the server.
I'm very confused as I thought the problem was that something was set in the data files saying it was in use. I had the customer FTP the files to me and I thought I'd be able to fix the issue by using the architect to open the files in exclusive mode, but the files opened right up for me without a 7075. So thinking that opening the files on my computer had removed the tag, I FTPed them back to the customer who put the files that worked for me back on his computer but they still didn't open. I can't imagine why neither a reboot nor overwriting the files with the ones I opened and closed would fix the problem. Shutting down all the computers other than the one that has the data on it does not help.
Is there something we can put into our program to set the user count back to one after a 7075? I'm not looking for a way around the user limit. I just want to get one user into the program in a way that lets everyone get in after he exits. Will an exclusive open do that?
