After moving to a new server installation, we have been having "delayed write errors" off an on. Seems to be when we have heavy usage. Before the switch, all workstations had a mapped drive to the database location on the server. After the move to the new server all workstations located the database location using UNC.

Our guess is that with the UNC naming convention, there is a delay in opening the Databases for usage and when heavy usage, this would be causing a problem and throwing the "delayed write error". We changed the datalocation to mapped drives and it seems to have solved the problem.

The number of workstations are not that great. Approx. 25

I an not comfortable that this is really solving our issue, however, it seems to have corrected the problem with mappings.

Has anyone experienced problems like this?

Thanks in advance
