Hi Gary,

this is some days on so you have probably rersolved the issue, but...

I had the same issue at at client site (they had the file uploaded
server 500 error problem). I tracked it down to the same database
error and went ahead and blew away dupicate records and this resolved
the issue. I had the luxure of recovering their database to my dev
server to test. it worked on my dev server and their production
server.

What caused it?
Hmmm, good question - I dont think I worked out why, but it has not
occurred since. Server error 500?? - I dont think so; user would try
more than twice, maybe up to 5 times, so I would have expextend to see
up to 5 duplicate records on some occations. Node moves sounds more
plausable to me; and if memory recalls, I do believe  this was noted
at the time of the issue.

client site:
b211
win2000
sql 7
