We have recently upgraded our netware server (5.0sp6-moved to new hardware) and are now having problems with MS Access97 database files.
On some machines (normally W2K, client 2.8) when trying to open the database the PC completely freezes, disconnects from the network and the utilization on the server soars to 75-80% (normally between 0-10%).

Note: this occurs on some databases but not all. If a database is already in use by another client it generally opens ok.

The only way to get the server back to normal is to shut it down. I have looked through the Novell knowledgebase but no luck.

Can anyone else help before I have to consult my (expensive) support companny for help !?

Thanks, Nick
