NAS 3.70 and Windows Explorer

timgrant

Hi,

I'm implementing NAS with the ability to read in and process txt files from a network folder. I read them in based on a command and date / time stamp included in the text file name to determine their content and sort order. The problem I'm having it is that I set a variable to the file table to locate the text file(s) and NAS waits for the files as they arrive from another system. This all works fine when I start the NAS service. but when the code loops back round in the time, it refuses to acknowledge any new text files added to the folder there after.

Is there a locked cache in NAS stopping it seeing new text files after the first code loop?

Some of the code goes like this...

CLEAR(RecFile);
RecFile.RESET;
RecFile.SETRANGE(Path, TxtQFMOut + RecDBSetup."Folder Path Name");
RecFile.SETRANGE("Is a file", TRUE);
RecFile.SETFILTER(Name, 'PRORDE*.txt');
IF RecFile.FIND('-') THEN BEGIN
REPEAT
......

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Change one of the filters, do a read, change that filter back to the original value and do the same read again.

Many Thanks, you're a star. In hindsight, a simple way round it, though I thought I was going nuts looking at it.

Bit of an own goal for the Navision NAS Service IMO

Many Thanks Again.

It's weird though, you shouldn't have to set the filter twice to read the content of a folder, but once you know that you have to do it that way, it's an easy thing
