Jim What network protocols are you running? I used to run 3 protocolls TCPIP Netbios and netware (for historic reasons) and had frequent problem as you describe. Now I am on TCPIP only and it works fine Gunnar

I have not found hardly any difference in running rbase on the network comapared to local and db's being on the net. Each user's CFG file is the identical except for the NAME tag. Each user starts rbase with a shortcut defined like this: K:\rbti\RBDOS65\RBASE65.EXE -ok:\rbusers\username\rbase.cfg -r --The username here is the users network/login name, and the cfg file --like I said is a copy of the other, except for the NAME tag within the file I set mess and err mess on conn with user 2.. checked staticdb .. it was OFF left this user connected went to user on set mess and err mss on checked staticdb .. it was OFF attempted to conn got error 7 cannot connect to db went to my machine -- I have same setup/rights as user one -- network admin I can connect just fine This is most puzzling Still banging head Jim Limburg A.
