It's definitely (well, as definite as I can be) not the overwrite issue - I
have four files created for this db, each set to be less than 2GB (I'm
running on NT4, but wanted to be safe). Only the first two files were in
use. I'm going to look at the connection string problem, but there are
only two apps connecting, and they get their connection string thru an .ini
file. I'll have to check with the only other user to see what she is doing.

thanks for the time,
