You may want to check the system's sleep phase. If it is set to go to sleep after so many minutes of nonuse, then this may be telling FileMaker to shut the program down. You have two settings for sleep mode: one for the hard drive and the other for the monitor. Be sure the sleep mode is the same for all users' computers.

The only time I've found this to be a problem in the past has been when a computer has lost power while Filemaker is still running. And when there was a faulty power supply in a computer which would switch off for a microsecond then back on. In this case, other software open at the time (MS word) hasn't been affected, only Filemaker. It appears to happen while Filemaker is idle, not being used at the time thankfully as its been able to rebuild. I'm aware of other potential internal problems that may surface so a clone is used to transfer data each time. The solution is running peer to peer over 2 computers, no server. Any clues at all please. Lee Mills
