Dennis, I am taking a shot in the dark here. One time a couple of years ago when I installed my first 2000 machine on a Novell network, I had the problem of the 2000 machine not being able to back up the database because when it disconnected from the database, it did not unlock the database files. I found a setting burried down under the Novell Client properties that contrls file caching on the work station. This sounds like a simelar situation where you disconnect from the DB, but the DB still has locks on it.
If I disconnected from the db and waited a few minutes, then I could copy the files, but if I disconnected and tried to copy the files right away, it would error out. Maybee this machine has a simelar setting???

On the desktop icon the Target is: C:\Program Files\Terminal Services Client\MSTSC.EXE "App Name" and the Start in is: C:\Program Files\Terminal Services\ I guess this is the same as a remote user using Carbon Copy or PC Anywhere. The single work station plants work fine but the plant with two PC's is unable to reload their data base. Windows sees the dbfiles as open even when one PC is logged out of Windows and the other one is Disconnected from the data base. Anyone out there using terminal services in a multi user environment?
