They have already applied the 4.9SP2 before your posting.  Since it did 
not fix the problem, I will have them try your suggestion.  BTW, it 
seems to be some kind of cummulative issue as you can see below.

Response from my customer:

After updating XP with the Novell Client 4.9 SP2 I still get the same error,
sometimes it's on a different screen but essentially the same.

Two notable things:

1. It happens during the twelfth record entry, every time.
2. The Novell Client 32 SP2 did improve the speed while running FilePro.
3. I am running Neware 5.0 last patch around six months ago not sure of the
patch version?
