Hi,
We have two networked (ethernet) XP pc's running FM 8.5. One hosts the
files and the other, a much older machine, is used occasionally to
create invoices remotely. We have found that sometimes an invoice
created and printed on the older machine disappears or was never
'written/saved' to the host machine files. That invoice number is
missing while other invoices created before and after are there. This
solution auto creates the next numerical invoice number each time one is
created.
The invoice screen will create a record in the client file if that
client has not had an invoice raised before. When an invoice is
'missing' its interesting to note that the new client data is in in the
client file proving the original missing invoice was created.
The bottom line is an invoice is created and printed on the remote
machine but just never appears on the host files. I'm presuming this is
a hardware issue so if any one else has experienced this problem before
I'd appreciate what they found to be the problem.

I'm not happy with the remote machine as its very old and is running
extremely slowly.
Any ideas ???
