Yes, such a problem exists. The problem is related to the Windows networking scheme and affects some, but not all, installations. It depends on a number of factors and, to the best of my knowledge, no one ever figured out exactly when the problem would occur. When the problem _does_ occur, it affects all programs that use shared access to files on the server. Thus, you see the same thing happening in Access, Foxpro, and so on. If you search newsgroups, you will find the occasional user of those programs asking the same question you are. The problem is that when the necessary conditions exist and files are opened in shared mode the network traffic increases by close to 100 times. Unfortunately, I don't know of any solution. I believe that whatever the underlying conditions are, one constant is always that Windows 2000 Server is involved on the server end -- if you have another machine that can host the database files that may be the quickest work around for you.
