SYMPTOMS
When you are running FoxPro LAN version 2.0 or 2.5 from a Novell NetWare version 3.11 server, a record lock limitation is reached. FoxPro locks on a certain record and it will not lock any record after that record.

CAUSE
The default number of record locks on a Novell NetWare 3.11 server is 500 locks per connection. When FoxPro exceeds the 500 locks (depending on the amount of memory on the server) the problem described above occurs at a certain record. The file server will generate the following error message:

Maximum Record Locks Exceeded.

RESOLUTION
The Network Administrator needs to issue the following command on the file server: 

  Set Maximum Record Locks to 1000.
