Yes

Thanks.  Agree with just about :) everything you say.  It is definitely 
an OS issue, unfortunately, I have to figure it out now.

I understand what causes a deadlock (thanks to all for the explanation), 
but given that there are no other users logged on or any other filepro 
processes running, I don't understand what is really happening here.  
The files, records, etc., are not/should not be in use by anything else.

Thanks again,
