Couple of things I would try...
Are you keeping the .exe on the workstations? Does your DBC use views or tables?
Try getting rid of the drive mapping and use unc pathing like \\servername\foldername instead
Make sure your workstation's anti-virus software is not setup to scan network drives

>>Maybe anti-virus software causing this?? If your workstations are scanning network drives it can cause odd things like this to happen.
