>>I have a client using SBT Pro Series 5.0 over a T1 line. They are experiencing random "cannot read file" errors at their remote location. They suspect that there may be a setting (either in VFP or NT) that would increase the amount of time that it searches for a file before timing out. I was wondering if anyone is aware of anything like this. The TIMEOUT in the CONFIG.FPW is set to it's maximum, but has had no positive affect on the problem.

Erik,
Their mapping a virtual drive for the data. The application is running on a local server and accessing the data over the T1. Right now the tables are all relatively small since they are in testing mode rather than full implementation. The problem is totally sporadic but seems to manifest itself much more if they are in the application and remain idle for an extended time.
