How are you writing over a file that is in use?

I would enhance Master.exe before it instnaciates any of the classes to run

through some good old PRG code to update the librarys.

Subject: Classlib not releasing from memory and no objects showing in

memory

Here's my scenario:

- Master.exe calls Child.exe

- Child.exe copies most recent classlibs from LAN to client if ftime

reports

difference. (I've shifted to the fat client design.)

- User exits child.exe and the last 3 lines of the main (driver) prg of

that

exe is the CLEAR CLASSLIB lines for the 3 libraries I was using.

- I make some changes to the LAN classlib.

- User (me in testing mode) re-enters exe, I notice that the COPY FILE

lines

fired and give the impression that the update was done (via Wait Window

stmts

in routine), BUT the client has the same old copy of the classlib! I do a

CLEAR ALL after I make any changes in my IDE, and I can use Explorer to see

that the ftimes are different, so why isn't it copying the files? To test

my theory about the client app still having it in memory, I exited VFP

so that only my app was open, opened Explorer and tried to delete the files,

but it gave the error message: "[Error Deleting File] Cannot delete

msmhshared: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or

write-protected and that the file is not in use." Well, the obvious answer

is

the last one: the file is in use. But the CLEAR CLASSLIBs should have

taken

care of that?!???!

I've verified that there are no objects in memory from that classlib

courtesy

of the DISPLAY MEMORY / DISPLAY OBJECTS commands.

Any ideas?
