>>I have a system in VFP 5.0 with Visual MaxFrame Pro running on a Windows '95 Network, all was fine with four or five work stations, but when we added 10 more systems the touble began. I could get nine network users in the system just fine, but when we tried a tenth we could open about half the files then we could not open any more.

Thanks for your suggestion, however that is not practicle since the network is normally only five users, the extra users are temps trying to key in old data. Luckily I was able to close down most of the tables and only use the ones necessary for the temps. This 'seems' to have corrected the problem.
