The folder I copied has everything needed to run the program, on two of the computers it will run fine(from the local folder) but it will not run across the network. From the 3rd computer it works fine across the network. The folder is on a zip drive when copied so nothing is changed

In this case, I would check and make sure that the location is available to the other workstations, either via mapped drive definition or by specifying the entire path. You indicated that you copied the full folder; does it include all the support files AND the database or just the support files? Also, are you using the same folder name and relative location on all computers? For example: C:\mydb D:\mydb C:\DATA\mydb Will have different results if the path is hardcoded in the application. It sure looks like some computers not finding the database.

I have an external form that upon startup it gathers some data from a table then disconnects. Recently it started having problems. I use a windows network and when running on the main computer it will work fine but trying to start from other 2 the form displays then get message that the table does not exist. Thought it might be an issue with main computer so moved to second computer and same thing. Just for kicks(after getting many more gray hairs) I switched to 3rd computer and it worked. In all cases I copied the full folder, so as far as the database, they were all the same. It does not appear to be my program nor the computers. Any ideas? Tom Hart
