W2K File Locking

[HQ]

I have a RDBMS program that I created a system to record
data and users can access the data from their PCs (W95 &
W98) and it has run for years without problems. Any new
PCs that are bought are bought with a W2K license and now
if a W2K user opens the program first it locks all other
user out. If a W95/W98 user opens the program first all
other W95/W98 users can access it but no W2K user can
access it.

Can anyone help with this file locking problem please?

Have you tried running the app in compatibility mode? (Create a shortcut to
it on the desktop and go into the properties of the shortcut, you should
have a compatibility tab.)
Otherwise, I suggest you provide more info about your network environment.
Where does the app reside? on a Windows server? NTFS partition? NT or 2000
domain? Also, there are numerous file locking issues with various network
software, Novell for instance, so if you are running Novell clients, that
would be critical information.
