>>The SA was using the Win2K server's explorer to copy the legacy files from a Novell server. It took forever - and then crashed. We made sure the virus scans were not interferring, etc. We tried several times - about 9 hours later, I suggested xCopy. 2 minutes later - the conversion was complete.

>>If you're appending accross a network to a VFP cursor - it might be helful to simply (DOS?)copy the source files to a scratch area local to your app and then run your parse from there.

>The first part actually passed fine. It takes only about five seconds - I'm reading it low level because of the memo fields there; some fields are longer than 255 chars. It's the writing to tables on the server which gets shut off, and then miraculously continues. In previous cases where I was experiencing network timeouts (FPD apps under w9x), Fox would simply crash because its tables were closed by OS. This is different.
