I have downloaded their data and run it here in the office on a pentium workstation running from a NT server. (They are also running NT server)
The problem can not be reprodeced here.
The program is a Cash Receipting system and the customer is reporting slowness on normal navigation and operation of the system. (it really is operating slower than a comparable pentium machine in our office on the same data)
She performes a specific key combination in the system on her machine and the error occurs. On the test machine here in the office, a reasonable system message appears.
It seems to me to be a definate 'environment' problem. One thing that jumped out at me about their environment was the use of AMD processors on the workstations...
