I experience this problem at 2 dififerent sites now. It is as though mapped
drives take long to "activate" after startup. The apps make use of mapped
drives to common data on the server. On restart of a pc and then opening of
the app we get errors relatinf to not finding server data. If we close the
app and go into explorer, then we can view the contents of the mapped drives.
Then we restart the app and it "connects" to the data and runs fine, till we
restart a pc.

The one network is a 2003 Server and pc's in a workgroup, the other site if
XP as a server and pc's in a workgroup

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure about this at all, but perhaps you are experiencing
autodisconnect. Try http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/194/
or search Google for autodisconnect.
