It's not a fox issue, but one of troubleshooting. I built several pcs recently w/ windows xp to upgrade one clients old 98 machines on his network. I installed them and they came up fine, running dhcp and getting an ip address, hitting the internet, antivirus all loaded, MS Office, and all the usual stuff. Some of the machines had intel Celeron chips, others had amd chips and all were working fine. Except - a couple of seemingly minor nits. The server is windows 2003 running active directory. None of the new machines could join the domain and some of the machines, when pulling up Excel documents were just pigs. It would take about a minute to open a document across the network. The problem would worsen if you tried to view the headers/footers in Excel.
At first I thought the problems might be related, but later found that wasn't true. The inability to join the domain problem had to do with the dns server. Once I straightened that out and re-scavenged the database, all was good. That left the other "issue". Printers can be a pain. As I was thinking through the problem, it occurred to me that the only machines I was having a problem with were connected to a brother laser printer, which was being shared off a computer. I set the default printer to the other hp laserjet on the network, and the files opened immediately. Apparently Excel binds the printer to the documents; much like fox does/can with the frx in a report. Anyway, I just thought some of y'all might benefit from this little tidbit in the future.
