Marc Not sure about runtime, but I would check the cfg files for computer 1. It maybe creating a new cfg file with multi off and/or changing some character settings that is preventing others to connect afterwards. The other thing to check is the server6.sys file and make sure everyone is using the same file. You should have only one server6.sys file.

I am working on converting it to 7.5 but I am not done yet. About 50 are networked mostly peer to peer (I know, not good) without problems. One office is having big problems with their network. It was set up by a MS certified network guy, so I assume it was done right. He said the drops were done by someone else and they do not have as much slack as he likes but does not think that is the problem. He said the cat 5 cables are closer than 3ft to fluorescent lights but thinks that should cause constant problems instead of occasional problems. When they can not connect to either computer they see a .vlogo where I display the version. I look it up in a table, so it looks like Rbase can't find the data folder. Which is strange when it happens to the server (1st computer) because the folder is on the C drive. The 1st computer is the "server" 2nd the workstation. Sometimes they can connect to the db on both computers, sometimes they can't connect to the db on the second computer. They see the .vlogo and you can't do a edit all from table..... at a fake R>. I am having them trap the errors to see what is going on. Below is what he says is happening. Any suggestions??? thanks Marc First 3 times today we tried to bring PinnSoft up on 2nd computer while it was active on 1st computer it failed. We got out of PinnSoft on 1st computer, brought it up on 2nd computer, then were able to bring it up successfully on 1st computer. Then got out of Pinnsoft on 2nd computer, brought it up successfully on 2nd computer 3 times consecutively with it still active on 1st computer. This is the same thing we did last Thur morning to get Pinnsoft up successfully on both computers simultaneously. Prior to last Thur morning, this sequence had rarely been successful. I think Paul did some additional mods Fri morning, but access so far today has functioned same as it did Thur. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
