Dark shot #1 - Any network layer analysis? Bad NIC, port, switch, etc. Dark shot #2 - Does the problem move with the user or stay with the workstation (assuming the user can swap machines with someone)?

Her tasks are different (invoicing) and software we've recently updated. Rolling back to previous version doesn't change problem. Validating DBCs and packing appeared to resolve problems for a few hours but it comes back. Shutdown and restart workstation and server didn't change symptoms. We've not yet had any success in reproducing the problem here. IT support claims all the machines are "all the same" and have sufficient CPU and memory, up to date, etc. No recent changes to hardware, software or configuration. This occurred before the most recent Microsoft Patch Tuesday, where MS messed up at least one and possibly three patches, which they're now recommending folks uninstall. So, I have pretty much nothing to go on, and thought I'd take up everybody's time with idle wild guesses. The problem is most likely an omitted index tag on a table that user is using more than any other. So, we'll do the hard step-by-step testing and debugging to try to find it. In the meantime, crazy speculation ("this happened to a client of mine back in '94...") welcomed. -- Ted Roche _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD04423C57D1401@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
