>>I have several 2.6 programs that have been running for several years now. The exe runs on local drive a the data is on a novell 3.x server. I use some tables that are very small (12 to 15) fields and only 100 to 200 records, these tables hold information for the day and the next morning get zapped and we start all over. The problem is that all of a sudden when the code tries to zap the table we get an error message saying Not enough disk space. The server has about 3 to 4 gig free. If I suspend the program and go to the command window I can type in ZAP and all goes well.

>hth,

You are right about running as an exe. But in this case the username does not
apply. I have the program login to the server with its own ID and Password. As a matter of fact these programs are the only thing that has access to this sever except for myself and one other programmer. We had the user ID set up with rights only to the directories they needed and unlimited space because we never know how much room each will need.

When this happens, which means it does not happen every day, the exe hoses the dbf. If it happens to me running from FPW dev, the error jumps up I suspend, type zap in command window, hit resume and everything goes on its merry way.
