It sounds like their indexes are getting corrupted. Make sure you have a reindex routine that deletes all the indexes and re-creates them from scratch.

Also, if their sever or workstations crash frequently that could cause the problem.

Also, it could be a problem with not enough file handles. If they're using Netware they may need to set the Netware FILE HANDLES= setting. I'm not sure how to do this under Win '95 (in DOS you just put a FILE HANDLES= line in the NET.CFG), but someone could probably help you with that.

Good luck,

Josh

At first, I blamed the problem on Win32s since they were the only ones using Windows 3.1. They have since upgraded. That solved some problems, but there are still some that remain a mystery.
