We're running multiple copies of FMP5.0 on a MS Server 2003 network. The
main DB is on the server in a shared folder. All machines are XPPro. Though
relatively new to us, this environment has been stable for more than a few
months.

We have multiple copies of a script that generates a small export file for
each field rep daily. This file contains records for the customers that
field rep is going to contact the fllowing day.

Everything has worked fine until recently and still runs fine from my
machine. However, on the dispatchers machine up front, even if I log on with
my FM credentials, I get an error stating "<filename> could not be created
on this disk. Use a different name, make more room on the disk, remove write
protection or use a different disk."

This happens on 3 out of 12 files trying to be created. The remainder are
created with no problems.

Any ideas here?

PS - I've attached a copy of the script below

Verify that those files don't already exist in your FileMaker directory
or somewhere else on that computer.

If that doesn't fix it, shut down the work station computer (not
restart), don't run any other programs and try it again.

Even though this would appear to be a FileMaker problem, these kind of
things only happen on Windows machines so it's an OS thing.
