Re: how to copy live paradox tables

I believe the best way to deal with this is to cause ALL users to
automatically make an entry into a common table which is located in the
"Net" directory (Logged in or Logged out). This table would identify
EVERYONE CURRENTLY ONLINE. As a function of your applications opening and
closing, these entries are added or deleted from this common table.

By tracking who is Online... you can establish rather it is safe to lock the
table directory and begin copying the data tables or not. You could even
go as far as to design your application to automatically send a message to
those who are Online, stating that they need to quit their work within the
next 5 minutes.... etc.

By placing this logging table in the Net Dir, you are assured that everyone
can see it and use it. It wouldn't take much effort to cause your apps to
automatically log users on and off of this table.

Of course, if a user would somehow quit their Paradox app in an unorthodox
manner (Ctrl-Alt-Delete), they may not get properly logged out of the
table.... you will have to devise a reliable method to handle this.

I use this logging method and find I can use the information for a lot of
other uses too. You can include users time in and time out.... client IP
addresses, etc., etc....
