Hi all, Thanks for all of the help. Turns out the problem was two of the five computers were installed with an older version of the Novell client software. This was causing the two computers to lock themselves out of the workgroup file. Basically, the computers were not releasing the workgroup...

Thanks. I was afraid someone would say that. I just got done again with one of the network gurus, too. He believes it could be a problem with the scripting. I'll let you know how it works out next week. Have a good weekend. Cheers! Jadd

Hi Doc I'm back, Thanks for all of your help. This is what is happening now. I've cleaned up the shortcuts so that they are all the same and specify the workgroup. Also, the SDHD.mdw file is now only located in the shared directories where the BE's are located, i.e. I:\project, I:\CFD...

Hi Doc Man, Thanks for the heads up. You could be onto something there. While the shortcuts for all three DBs point to the same directory on the server where one of the BEs is being shared, I did notice that there were was an old workgroup file (different name) located in one of the other DB's...

Hi Doc Man, Well, I'm looking good in regards to not naming the workgroup file System.mdw, as well as shot #2 - well, at least as far as the network guys know. I was wondering though, should I be placing the workgroup file in the directories containing the FE or the BE or both? Currently the...

Hi all, long time no post. I've inherited three databases, all of which were converted from 97 to 2000 without any apparent problems. All three are of the usual FE BE design. Here's where it gets interesting. All three FEs reside on five computers which are used by five users. Two FEs...

Even though I'm on this site every other day it seems, I hardly ever have to post a question since it seems that at least one person has asked my question and more importantly someone answered. I just want to put out one big THANK YOU to everyone that has contributed to my success in the last...

That's what I was looking for Harry! Thanks! I learned something new.

It was all good until we started to replace our old computers with new ones. I have some reports that pull the dates from an unbounded text box on a form (formatted mm/dd/yy). The regional settings on the old computers had a short date format of mm/dd/yy. Of course, the new computers have a...

Hi there, It looks like you're on the right track. Is the [ReportMenu] the correct name of your form? Is your [StartDate] the correct name of the unbound text box on the form?

Hi all, Thanks much for the replies to my last post. What I have today is a database with a back end containing the linked tables on a server with a front end on various individual workstations. The good thing is that for individuals on the local area network everything works great. The bad...

As always you all are great! Thanks a bunch for the suggestion on using Mid instead of Right that is what I was looking for. I'll read up on the difference between the two. Travis, thanks for the code. I'll plugged it in and try it out, too. Thanks again John

Hi all, First I want to say I've been surfing this forum for a year and you all have helped me far more than you could ever imagine. I've looked quite a bit for an answer to this problem, but have yet to find it. I have a text string [timedisp] that takes in an amount of time, i.e. :15 or...
