Sorry, it was the report writer on the client's machine that wouldn't open the report. I fixed it by opening it on my machine. I only tried one report this time, but it was the same as one of the ones I tried last time.

The zip drive on my machine is an external USB, and is fairly new. The one on the client's machine is internal. I don't know for sure what interface it uses, but it's got to be either SCSI or IDE.

Windows 2000 doesn't have scandisk. Instead, they have "error checking". I ran that on the disk and it checked out OK.
