Craig,
When you run on NOVELL, make sure that OPLOCK LEVEL II is turned OFF.
I had many corruptions of my Databases when this was set to ON.
This is the same thing a Microsoft O****tunistic Locking. For some reason,
NOVELL make this TRUE/ON in Novel 5 or 6.
Also, is the Hospital a "flat network" or is it in a VLAN? This makes a
huge difference.
Also, how busy is the NOVELL server? Are they clustered? This is easy
for
your Network Admin to determine.
