Hi,
Sounds like you have a flaky connection between the two sites, why not go to a terminal server setup. All processing is done on the server with only screen delltas being transmitted, if there is an interruption the TS just picks up from where it was.

Much better solution for running databases over the wire.

>They also report that if two users try to start the program at the same time it locks up with a series of errors Program errors: "invalid seek offset", "error reading file", "file is in use by another user."
