Peter,

Thanks for the reply. I'm slow responding as I was out of town.

I had the same thought that the VFP users would be the first to notice and that did not seem to be the case. The network tech person felt there were unreleased file handles accumulating that were causing delayed problems.

Thanks for relaying your experience.
