Thanks Wayne.

Are you serious that I should use the MSFT client instead (I realize you *are* serious but gotta ask)? "Conventional wisdom" (from the guys I contract to that do some of our network support) has always been that the MSFT clients were buggy at that you should always use the Novell clients instead. Would you elaborate a bit so I have something to take back to them to discuss this? Also, is there any downside to using the MSFT client - things that do not work or features not available etc.

I appreciate the input,

Albert

>>Anyone have a "tweak list" for Client32 on Win98 machines for a VFP app running with data on a Novell 4.2 server? The app hangs every now and then (only about once every two weeks per user) but we cannot roll it out to the entire company until this is solved.

>>If you do the big Ctrl-Alt-Del when the app is hung, it says that the app is "not responding". By this point though, it is hard to even terminate the process and usually it means a hard boot of the PC. It sortof "feels" like some sort of communication problem with the server since it happens just about always when the user presses the Save button. The app is written using VMP's framework, which has the proper error trapping, but it doesn't even get to a VFP error because the .exe is somehow just hung.
