Sorry

I got to environments mixed.

To problems is at a custumers site.

The servere there is called DATABASE-SRV.
The LOG examples has been regenerated here at my site with the
corrupt DB from my customers site.

My clients doesn't crash !

They simply gets some message saying that the server (DATABASE-SRV)
has ended the connection.
I strongly believe it happens under or just after a sweep.

The example with the META UPDATE is because I actually tried to do a
META UPDATE.
But NONE of my clients do that.
They ALWAYS do Update or Insert. And just a little delete.

They do connect to the DB through BDE.

The connection string points to the physical directory on the server
DATABASE-SRV.
