Let's go a different direction. What about incompatibility with Novell? It seems the trouble occurs when I am accessing a database on our Novell network. When I copy a database down to the local PC, no problems whatsoever.

Ah, NOVELL - yes, it has been a pain to me over the years. I used to have to use that as well.

So, are you using a Split database with the backend on the server and a COPY of the frontend on the local machine? If not, you should be doing that.

Yes, I am doing that for some databases. However, the ones I am currently having a problem with are not split. I'm having a different problem with the split databases.
