Tracy, thanks for your input I'm still struggling with this problem. This has happened to me once before, about 2 years ago, same client, same circumstances Then it went away but I never knew what started it or what I did to make it go away
I've now copied all the datafiles to a different folder. (dbf, fpt,cdx) Same hard drive, still Terninal Server, same exe No problems This weekend I plan to copy all these files into 2nd folder, then delete them in folder 1 Then copy back again, then I'll re-try the routine. When the system crashes, it is always the same table. The largest table is half a gig. The problem table is relatively small.
