Hi, Thanks so much for the response!
We do restart the Ariel workstation (the PC) every day. BUT it isn't the workstation that is the problem. We are running a split model where we have a server and a workstation. The server is responsible for receiving documents (this model is described in the detailed installation instructions). I believe that the SERVER is the problem... it is basically that the SERVER APP gets "stuck" (that's the technical term our IT person uses). This condition seems to happen randomly. The SERVER is not rebooted automatically.. Anyone else have any ideas?

When we have a heavy volume day our Ariel program will "freeze" and rebooting the Ariel workstation unlocks everything and it functions as it should. Hope this helps.

Since July or so we've been having problems with the server "freezing" (this is how our I.T. person describes it). This is what he writes: Basically, what I'm seeing is that it randomly "freezes" the application -- load is not high, memory usage is not high, there's nothing in the winariel.log file. Connectivity to the database *appears* ok. I can connect to the console, kill it and restart it without any errors or warnings. It's been happening since about July or so. Has anyone seen something similar to this? Or have any suggestions what we might do? It is happening every few days during the "bad" times (other weeks can go by without any problems). Thanks.
