Hello,

I have a server with ADS installed, and my application runs from a shared folder c:\softwaregest at the server.

In the rest of the computers, they run \\server\softwaregest\app.exe and when opening dbf files, I get ADS error 7008, The specified table, memo file, or index file was unable to be opened.

ADS help files don´t help me.

From the rest of the computers I can Access to the server without problems, even the .exe is executed there as there is no local copy.

Any help please?.

Make sure you have port 6262 open on the server. Set it for UDP, both incoming and outgoing.

Also make sure the drive is shared. If you only share the app directory, the ADS might not be seen.

Finally, in the Windows settings, turn of the password protection in Advanced Settigns for the network. I often find this to be a problem where the app needs to sign into the server, and no prompt comes up to do it. If you absolutely need the password protection, then do a mapped drive that signs in at login.

Thank you so much Tim.

The antivirus was blocking ADS port.
