>Hello All;
>We've developed a problem and I would like to know if anyone else has come across this issue.
>
>We are working on a Novell 4 Lan. My co-worker has WindowsNT installed on her machine. I work out of Windows95.
>
>When a VFP5 program crashes on her machine, she tries to issue a modi comm command and gets the message access denied. I try to access the same program and I also receive the message access denied.
>
>She then quits out of VFP and I can now access the file. She brings back VFP5 and tries to access the file (after I have closed it) and sure enough, she gets the message - access denied.
>
>Only when she actually reboots her machine does she regain access to the file.

>WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!!!
>Weird stuff for sure.

>Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The POSSIBLE culprit is one of your workstation (abnormal network connection due to network card, network cable, or hub). Start working with few workstations first, if the problem occurs, turn off the other one and so on, until the problematic workstation is pinpointed.
