Program and data both reside on external HD, and the program is being run from there as well. Will try your suggestion.

Also, user just called - a table has been corrupted... Is this also a symptom of this setup? i.e. will it go away, if I move the exe and temp files locally? or is there something else at work here?

Thanks,
Mike
