As to file access the user has rights to the accpac directories that contain the data. The server is novell and we have been running it for around 3 years. In that time we've had one posting error that required us to restore the gl*.* files.

What could cause the file to be locked when the user does a post. Yesterday the user did 4 or 5 batch postings in the morning. The first time in the afternoon the batch postfailed. then worked correctly.

Should these files be set to sharable? in properties when looking at them from windows explorer show them only marked as archived.
