Hi Jim

This is VFP 6 SP3.

The tables are on NT4 and there are upto 10 users running local version of the same .EXE a combination of Win98 and Win2000. They all have internet access through the same server. Printers run off a separate print server.

But I can easily duplicate this on my PC opening 2 sessions of the same program. I run XP Pro with the db being local.
