Tom,

It actually doesn't matter which file is opened at work area 11. The message (which is a Foxpro message) will still appear. So I think we can rule out the fact that a single file is choking it.

I have not tried disabling the network to see if the application runs as a stand-alone application. I'll try out ASAP.

I've sent an e-mail to Artisoft for technical support on Lantastic to see if there are any file handles configuration that I need to set. But they have not replied.

Thanks a million, Tom. Wish me luck, anyway.
