We found the cause to this problem and I thought I'd share it with you. The file we append sits on a virtual PC. The VOC pointer is \\file-server\share-name\folder-name
This PC is configured for automatic windows updates and automatically restarts. We had Patch Tuesday. The PC restarted fine and automatically started the application, however, the share-name stopped working. When the IT person tried to restart it he didn't do it correctly. Now that we have correctly recreated share-name all is well. Thanks for all your help.
