Error Message

[Henry Melancon]

Thanks for the suggestion Nancy.  Please note that I am a supervisor with
several input persons working for me.  I supervise the input and do the
programming in Filepro.  I am not a network expert.  I have an IT group who
know nothing about Filepro and have the "It's a Filepro Problem Mentality".

I have a network version of Filepro.  Two computers are reporting lots of
different errors.  They do work sometimes   I believe it is a network or
connection problem, but I need suggestion to give to IT to trouble shoot.
The processing is either trying to write to the server or do a lookup to
retrieve data from another file.

Thanks,

Henry
