Hi Armin.

In the thread you sent me I found the link bellow that took me to the resolution you can read here. If the problem has something to do with cache, that should solve it. Haven't tried it yet, and can't believe I'll have to do this !!! This might not be the answer, as everything works fine when opening the tables from a win2000 or XP. The problem is to upgrade all machines ... I'll keep trying to find another solution, if there's one.

"RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, developers writing database applications that access a network data store should flush file buffers at any time that represents delineation of a transaction; for example, after a bulk operation, or prior to closing a file handle, or any time a transaction log is written to. This can be done by calling the Win32 FlushFileBuffers API Call."


Best.
