Ken, this program is at least 15 year old going from dos to Windows 95 to
windows 98 and then windows XP.  It has worked properly through all of those
operating system changes until Windows 7.  It is not the code as far as I
can tell as I haven't changed it in over 3 years.

1. The offices were recently rewired to cat.  
2.  New Windows 7 computers have been installed
3. Some older computer are being used for non-filepro programs and it is
possible that one or more of these may have bad NICS.
4. A switch was installed in a second floor office to allow for 4 computers
to be installed (see 3 above) - Old switch which could be bad.

I need to go up to my client's and work through the problem from a hardware
standpoint.
