>About 1 in 6 times, this app is run on a server, it does not complete, and either bombs with a spurious error message or in the morning its back to the icon stage . When I zip these up and re-run it on our PC in our office, it works perfectly 100% of the time.
>This happens in maybe 2 out of 10 sites (all on servers with a lot of data) and always runs back at our office successfully.
