Al I have seen similar odd behavior due to the anti-virus programs. Have the folder put in the exclusions as well as dbf, cdx, and fpt extensions. That helps some, not always. There have been times the only way to "fix" the odd behavior was to remove that particular anti-virus. We proved it was the anti-virus with a sysinternals tool. It was the one that shows what programs touch what files. -- Tracy _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
