Intermittent Status 85

Problem Description:  
Status code 85: "The File is Locked" is returned to different workstations without any pattern.  

Problem Environment:  
Pervasive SQL  

Cause of this problem:  
A Status Code 85 occurs when the file is closed because Anti-Virus software opens and locks the file to scan causing the next database operation to fail.  

Solution Notes:Set the Anti-Virus software to not scan Pervasive SQL data files. Consult your Anti-Virus software manual for instructions on how to exclude files.
