Just to prove the point in the Chatter forum.

Why are you using EXE from the Network? AFAIK the common practice is to have EXE on the local drive...

>Sometimes I get a very strange error:

>This has puzzled me for a while as it happened rarely and could not be simulated. However today I removed my network cable and immediately the same error popped up.
>I now think that this is happening because there is a sometimes a very short loss of connection to the network. Note that both the EXE and my datafiles are on the network.
>Is there a timeout or retry setting I can set to avoid this sort of error to ensure that when access to the network is not available, it waits for a longer period trying to access the network?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
