Graham, I occasionally see this reported from end users. Usually it is our VFP 8 or VFP 9 executable running from the mapped server drive. We also see Invalid Seek Offset errors. Every time the problem has gone away when: 1) Anti-virus on workstations are set to NOT scan network drives 2) Anti-virus on the host/server machine is set to exclude the directory where the executable exists 3) Anti-virus site wide is set to exclude DBF, FPT, and CDX files There has been additional culprits at some sites. These include desktop search tools such as the Google Desktop Search, always on offsite backup programs, and a chatty network card or bad Ethernet cable.
