Tom,
The first thing that comes to mind is if by Main Computer you mean the
Server or the computer where the database is stored. In this case, I would
check and make sure that the location is available to the other
workstations, either via mapped drive definition or by specifying the
entire path.
You indicated that you copied the full folder; does it include all the
support files AND the database or just the support files? Also, are you
using the same folder name and relative location on all computers?
For example:
C:\mydb
D:\mydb
C:\DATA\mydb
Will have different results if the path is hardcoded in the application.
It sure looks like some computers not finding the database.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Strange behavior
I am stumped! I have an external form that upon startup it gathers some
data from a table then disconnects. Recently it started having problems. I
use a windows network and when running on the main computer it will work
fine but trying to start from other 2 the form displays then get message
that the table does not exist. Thought it might be an issue with main
computer so moved to second computer and same thing. Just for kicks(after
getting many more gray hairs) I switched to 3rd computer and it worked. In
all cases I copied the full folder, so as far as the database, they were all
the same. It does not appear to be my program nor the computers. Any
ideas?
