[Bug 23478] New: moneysoft accounts programs do not close files when they should

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23478

Summary: moneysoft accounts programs do not close files when
                    they should
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I am trying to use two linked accounting programs that are from Moneysoft. I've
used them on windoze for years and they are the last thing keeping locked to
that os!
  SORRY IF THIS SOUNDS LONG WINDED! So far I have tried the two packages, Money
Manager and Final Accounts on two machines and had the same problem. Machine 1
is an old evo 800 running xubuntu with wine 1.1.31. The second is an HP wx6200
workstation, 2 cpu's with dual cores and 4gb running fedora 13 and wine 1.1.38
loaded from the fedora repository. 
   When running the programs it should be possible to jump from one years data
file to say the last year's and by using "file-open" and selecting the other
year. when doing that the program should automatically close and release the
first file, and its not. In the file to open selection box is a list of the
possible files and under normal operation with a file open, clicking on the
"file"-"open" will show the list and have "open" next to the one in use. This
still happens, but if you select another and look at it then go back to the
"file"-"open" selection it shows that one as being open and the last as being
"in use". 
The help says this could be if its on a network and only one operator can use
it at a time, so the file must be tagged in some way and that tag is not being
released.

ANY IDEAS PLEASE?

I should add that I'm running the 686 version of wine rather than the 86-64 on
the wx6200 because I read of instabilities in the latter on the fedora forum.
It should make no odds as both machines and vershion have the same fault

1.1.38 is rather old, try with 1.2-rc6 first.

To try to reduce the number of variables I have switched to a 32 bit machine
running fully updated suse 11.2 and I have downloaded wine 1.2 rc4, the rc6
would not run. 
The same problem happens that I can open one data file (four sample come with
the program so I used them not my accounts data). I should then be able to
click file open and select another and the program releases the first and opens
the second. The fact that that happens (or not in this case) can be seen by
again going to file-open and only the one in use should have (open) by it. The
error is that one of the others has (in use) next to it. When the program is
closed and reopened there is a warning to that effect.
 I have run it from the terminal and the same happens. Did a machine reboot and
it set back to as it should be, but I've only done that once. 
Climbing a vertical learning curve at the moment! How do I get WINEDEBUG to
run? It does not say in the wine user guide.

Thanks A LOT for the help

The same thing happens in xubuntu 9.1 with wine 1.2rc5 (could not get rc6 to
run) as in 1.1.38

I'm confused by your problem description. I grabbed the Money Manager Personal
Edition from
http://www.moneysoft.co.uk/update/money%20manager%20personal%20edition.exe and
installed it using wine-1.2-rc6-66-g902cce1. Launching WINMONEY.EXE, I create
two new data files, then I try doing File -> Open on each of the two new files.
Only one of the two files are marked as (open) at a time, and I don't see any
obvious mutual exclusion issues. Could you provide clear instructions on how to
reproduce the problem with a clean install?

Andrew
  Thank you for looking at this for me. 
  I have updated to 1.2 rc6 and for a while I thought that it was ok. Did you
install just the money manager by itself or also load one of the partner
programs? I use the "business money manager" and "final accounts". Switching
between one and the other is done with a pair of tabs "MM" & "FA" at the top
right of the page. 
  Just now I opened MM and opened one file then another about 8 times with no
problem. Then I close MM and opened FA and it came up with a window saying
"file so and so is in use" and the file-> open window shows (in use) next to
that file so I cannot get in to it.
   I have checked that the file in question was set to read-write as the MM
help file said that could have got corrupted. 
   The work around that I have come to is a bit crude but does the job. I used
the file manager to find the file on the .c drive that is said to be "in use",
copied it to another location and deleted the original. Then I opened the MM
program and got a warning that the file could not be found. Closed the program
and copyed the file back and it then opens ok. 
  I can live with that!  This was the last program I need to use that was
holding me having a windows installation some where around so i'm glad to get
rid of that.   
  If you try and can get the same fault then please let me know. I'll up date
my other machine asap. This might not be solved but at least there is a work
around and they are good programs. I used the dos one first in 1987.
THANKS

This has not been updated for over 900 days.

Is this still an issue in 1.5.31 or higher or is this abandoned ?
