We have an application running in over 30 locations. At one (and only one) of those locations we are getting the following error:

Error# 2005
"Error loading file - record number 13. frmTransHistInq .Loading form or the data environment : File access is denied LOPREVIEW"

The error happens very sporadically and neither the users nor their internal IT people can describe any pattern to the error occurring. This is the largest installation we currently have by a small margin (largest file has 640,000+ records). But we have 3 other installations of comparable size (largest file has 550,000+ records)

The environment: Win NT/4 Server, 10-15 Win 98se Workstations (400 Mhz, w/512 MB Ram).

The record number in the scx that the error message references is the "form record."

We are using the Data Environment. But the records in the scx which load the DE are before the record on which we receive the error.
We have Set Exclusive Off at the beginning of the application.
BufferModeOverride is generally set to 3 - Optimistic Row Buffering for "edit" screens and 0 - no buffering for "inquiry" screens.

What is really puzzling is the File Access Denied part of the error message does not reference a table at all but an object (loPreview) which is created at runtime using the NewObject() function - in the click event of a button - not in the Init or load of the form.

Any suggestions on troubleshooting the error would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Rick Becker
