Razzak, Thank you for information. I kind of thought the -A was needed but needed to ask. Is there a white paper or something like that on razzak.com?
I too am having random I/O errors but I believe it be environment. The machines I am having the most problems with appear to be the ones with Vista. One of them will be sitting at the main menu and after 10-15 minutes of non-use if an option is selected, it will throw the I/O error. It's like it loses it's connection. CFG file has SCRATCH set to TMP. The system environment variables have been set to C:\Temp C:\Temp exists on all machines User has all permissions for C:\Temp I've ensured that Vista does not turn off the network adaptor. I've restrung a cable to the machine. I'm kind of running out of ideas. Jan -----Original Message----- From: "A.

Jan, You CAN place all files on local machines, if your so desire for any specific reason, and share the database on server. In this scenario, you will have to update every workstation, if and when you wish to apply latest updates with everything, including the re-compiled .exe. If everything, including the compiled .EXE, .DLLs, .RBLs, etc., are in the same folder (local or network server), you MUST use "-A" option. -A option tells R:BASE to look in the .EXE program directory first for the RBENG*.DLL files. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
