Mutltiple Access to single DVB file !

[Anonymous]

Can someone tell me if it is possible disable the:

"Cannot access to write to that file and changes cannot be saved to it."

Message when a single DVB file is being accessed by more than session of
AutoCAD R14 ?

I have a single DVB file placed on a network for 40 users to access, but
obviously get a warning once the second user fires up Acad. The same
problem will occur even if a local copy of the DVB file is placed onto to
each machine, as user's very often have multiple sessions of Acad open at
any one time !

Thanks
Dave

Dave,

I had the same problem with AutoCAD 14, i think only one session of AutoCAD
can access to a VBA file

With AutoCAD 2000, you can access to the VBA file by more than one session
or user

Hi,

To Overcome the problem, we have copied the DVB on each user machine.
I dont know any other method to use in R14.

Actually, more than one user or session can access a dvb file. It's when
you try to modify & save changes to the dvb file in the second session (dvb
is read-only) that you run in to problems. Just instruct the users to click
'Yes' and ignore the warning message when they open the second Acad session.

Hi Dave,
That is a limitation you have to live with in VBA R14.
I created a batch file that is executed when the user logs onto the network.
(NT 4.0)
The batch file copies the dvb file up to a local directory on the users
workstation.
This has the advantage of allowing me to place any improved (read fixed) dvb
programs in the source directory and having it distributed to all my users
regularly.

We've updated to 2000 but I continue to use this method. I find it very
convenient.
