   When you run on NOVELL, make sure that OPLOCK LEVEL II is turned OFF.   
   I had many corruptions of my Databases when this was set to ON.   
   This is the same thing a Microsoft Oportunistic Locking.  For some reason,   
   NOVELL make this TRUE/ON in Novel 5 or 6.   
      
   Also, is the Hospital a "flat network" or is it in a VLAN?  This makes a   
   huge difference.   
   Also, how busy is the NOVELL server?  Are they clustered?  This is easy for   
   your Network Admin to determine.
