Lee -
It's not a hardware issue, it's likely due to your hosting on FM
Client. First, be sure that your host has ALL of the files open and
hosted. Once you've done this, check your file references and remove
any unnecessary entries - assuming all db's are located in the same
folder, your references should just be
File:FileName.fp7
Your data is likely not "lost" - it's sitting in some other Invoice
file on your remote computer's hard drive.

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.
