>Just one last thought - is that Linksys access point in use by the store? If not, disable the wireless.

>>Thanks for the response. I visited the store today and swapped out the second machine with one of my own, nearly identical. I have not heard yet, will wait till tomorrow to call him.

There are two registers, one of which hosts the data in this peer to peer network, and it happens on both of them. The only difference in this store from the others is his workstations have 2G of memory and all other stores have 1gig or less. I did restrict the memory use by VFP.
