I'm flying blind here, but this could be a transaction log problem. run the stored procedure sp_dboption {database name} to see what your options are set for those two databases. It might be that you need to expand the transaction log. I'm having a hard time visualizing what SQL Enterprise Manager options to use to do this because I don't have access to it from my workstation today.

From ISQL, you can USE {database name} (just like VFP) and then EXEC sp_configure or EXEC sp_dboption.
