My problem is a little different -- the application never actually starts up. I think I have a little more information. After isolating the problem to one or two machines, it actually happened on my development routine. What happened is this: I was at the R> prompt and tried to connect to a database. The program stopped for a minute or so then I got a "Timeout exceeded" message. The program then tried again for a minute and gave me another Timeout message. I never connected to the database and I could not break out of the loop (the loop wasn't in my program -- I had just typed CONNECT DBName from the R> promt). In this case, since I had RBase already showing, I could see what was going on. I think in the case of the machines on which R:Base appears, the same thing happened -- R:Base went into a non-interruptable loop trying to connect to the database and so the main R:Base form never appeared. -- Larry
