Hi, A customer wants to delete all shares when the object is deleted by the owner (kind of WIN 95 shortcuts mechanism). To do it, we think to use the DestroyObject method. In the help file, I can read: "Deletes the object obj without regard to its shares." "If more than one share of the object obj exists, only the visual representation (icon) within the compound object parent will be removed. Other shares to the object are not removed automatically when the object is destroyed; they will become invalid. Refreshing the parent object removes invalid object shares." Does it mean other shares will become invalid and will not be deleted? Is it advised to use this method or not? What are the consequences in the database? Not clean? Thanks Patrice

Patrice, The description is right. If you have an object which is taken away with DestroyOject(), you'll still have the icon but as soon as you try to access it you will get the error that the object no longer exists. After that the icon disappears. A refresh would take away the obsolete icon also. This is simply what happens. There are more occasions that you don't always have what you see. If you share a folder with somebody else and you take an object out of this shared folder, the icon of that object will not automatically disappear off the screen of the person you are sharing it with. Unless (s)he registered interest in this compound object. If the other person tries to access it the same arror would popu as with the DestroyObject(). Jos | |||||
