Each user has his own DBC in a separate directory.

However, they do share data files for common lookup information.

There is one EXE.

It is the data in their own database that is getting corrupted (not the common data which is not updated).

My thought was that the temp folder could be the problem if it was shared. I asked them to arrange a separate temp folder for each user. They did this and as you can see from my message below, this appears to have been done correctly. But the problem has not gone away.

I don't have the problem with the same setup on a simple LAN with files on a file server. What could it be about CItrix or their environment that I should look at?

Any suggestions please.
