I do have a sneaky suspicion it is server/os related ... our net support guy is building a new server as we speak.  We have Filemaker Server Advanced 9.

Thanks for your input ... and pray for the best!

There are bugs in some of the 8 releases make sure you have FMSA 8.0v4r2

If you run FileMaker Server 8 of any kind.
