Here is the story ...
This applications was working fine since uuhhh! long ago..

This mornign I had a call from one of the users telling me about this problem

I check the code ( isn't mine) and I find out that this a very simple app opens the dbc and then the needed tables (no cursors, no views) and at the long on the apps append a record in the logusers table and then is whe it happens, the code is a simple serie of replace statements...

any idea?
