>>>>I have a couple of users that get error 1104, error reading file. Usually this happens on a network station, which tells me that their network connection was lost. The perplexing part is how could the error get logged into the error table if the network were down? Any ideas out there? TIA.

This is the case. However, I've heard that the best solution is to set 1 machine to browse master and the rest to disabled (as opposed to automatic). Otherwise if all machines are set to auto, there is supposed to be extra network overhead as elections are held and the browse list gets passed between machines. I think this is the scenario you are referring to. What I'm not sure about is when all the machines are set to disabled. Wouldn't that make it impossible to browse the network? Thanks for you help.
Marcus.
