What does smoke say about the MSM? Can you open it with Orca? If you have an on-access virus scanner, try disabling it temporarily or asking it not to scan on writing the file? ********** Paths are short ... Opens fine with Orca ... On-access scanning disabled [for testing] ... same error(s) ... Here's what Smoke said: ICE03: ICE03 - ICE to perform data validation and foreign key references ICE03: Created 05/19/1998.
