Hi Bill,

Is it possible that the phantom is starting up twice or the file is being opened simultaneously by two processes for some other reason?

The reason I ask is that we have encountered a very strange behaviour of the anti-virus software that we use here. If two processes attempt to open a file (any file, not just a database file) at the same time, one will frequently fail with a permissions error. Disabling the anti-virus system makes it all work ok. There is no problem having the file open to multiple processes; it is just that the actual file open operations must not overlap.

We have sent a simple test program that demonstrates this to the anti-virus vendor and are awaiting their response.
