I posted this earlier but had the popup message wrong... so here goes
again...

- We have an old computer with Access 2000 on it.

- We have a simple single table Access 2003 database on another computer on
a Peer-to-Peer network.

- We call that computer the "Network Drive" as it has most of our files on
it.

- We have a single user entering new records in the database from the old
computer.

- Ocassionally when she finishes entering data into a record and tries to go
to the next new record she gets a popup message... and the new record won't
get added to the data base.

- The popup message reads "Disk or Network Error"

- We have to quit and restart Access on the old computer... and she has to
re-enter the new record.

- No user is using the dB at the time.

If anyone has a clue about what this may be let me know. It is driving us
nuts!

Thanks for the help

Have you checked the Windows Events?

Cheers,

Rich

This is almost certainly an intermittent hardware problem. Such as a
loose cable or something similar. On the network card on the back of
the PC there should be a green light indicating network connectivity.
Keep any eye on that light although that could be quite difficult.
Also try wiggling the various connectors and such.
