Greetings Flow'ers, I hear this alot and have fought this dragon before. Try disabling the MS ODBC extensions. Occaisionally this will work. However, The absolute best advice that can be had anywhere at any price concerning BD Cellquest and MS programs is to not run them on the same computer. Since that is not and option for most of us, here's how we have the best results (or luck); Backup your data. Upgrade system RAM to 128M (64M is minimum). Blank your hard drive, Load your OS and all your software. Setup all your hardware and software the way you will be using it (mailboxes, network, internet, printers, whatever). Test your configurations and programs to make sure they work OK. Restore your old data (optional) DO NOT restore any programs, only your data. Load BD Cellquest. Test Cellquest and then all your programs and configurations again. Backup your hard drive totally if everything is working. Do Not upgrade anything MS from this point forward without starting over. Painful, yes. Don't even bother using Cellquest with any MS programs open. It is a recipe for lock up. In general, MS programs are "resource hogs" no matter which computing platform you use. Lots of RAM is essential. Likewise, BD Cellquest was never intended to be used on a multi-purpose computer, it was designed for a dedicated computer.
