Hi Arjen, Yes, everyone is using the database via SAMBA (at least they were until I put it back on the Win2K server), no updates or backups were running, and no, I didn't deny locks. I'm stumped - I found a few messages about this problem (one guy also with an ACT 2000 database), but no apparent resolution. This is bad - it might actuall kill my boss's willingness to give Linux a try. :-( Charles Marcus I.T.

This looks like a problem with file locks. Are all users/programs using the database via samba? No updates or backups being done in the mean time from the box self or via NFS? Did you set a deny all lock somewhere? (If such a thing can be done within samba) BB, Arjen
