Hey Calvin
whats the format of the xp drive, ntfs?
if it's ntfs look in the "config.nt" I believe in xp, in the bottom of the file make sure the "files" = 'Files=99', it might be giving you a erroneous error because the files might be going over the max.
thats my best guess, it doesn't mean it's right, it's just a good guess
>Connection is by drive letter if I understand your question correctly. Each workstation has its own local identical copy of the exe. When the exe starts it checks itself against the date time stamp of the exe on the server. It also is passed a parameter for the location of the tables.
