>Our VFP5 system occasionally will load a form but NOT load all the tables in the DataEnvironment. Or, worse, it will load a DBF but not load the corresponding CDX. This happens on random forms, at random times, and on different tables for any form. We have shown this is the case with 'Display Status' - Tables are missing or are loaded without their CDX. The next time the user loads the form, it's OK.

If necessary, I'll add something to the error checker for the CDXs, but a missing CDX results in several different errors depending on code.

You might want to have the network admin check to see what traffic is like on the server. If you are running multiple protocols, try to scale back to just one. Also, you are running the exe's on the workstations and the data on the server - right? Are you temp files directed to a local drive?

It sounds like a network saturation problem based on what you are telling us. Also, if you are running file and print sharing on the workstations turn of the browse master on all Win95 machines. Otherwise they compete with the NT Server every 10-12 minutes to be the browse master (the one that retains the list of computers in that domain.) The Nt PDC will "always" be the browse master.
