Make sure all of the proper network rights are assigned to the user/user groups necessary. I had similar problems on a pathworks network. All users had the exact same access rights except one... I think one of those create things or something. That is where I would start.

Put wait windows into your code to assist in narrowing down where the code is hitting a road block; provided U do not have a robust error handler. Can U access the data files from the command window? Well just some quick thoughts.... Steve

And most obvious: Check for exclusive use of files. This is a common problem when porting a stand-alone application to the network for multi-user access.
