The problem that I'm hearing is that there's supposed to be no one in the
office at this time and probably at least 3 hours prior. But, it does make
sense if there's a tape backup being performed on the file while there's at
least a workstation left connected to the database. BTW, this is a Windows
2000 system, with forced write and sweep set at 2,000.

Thanks for this information.
