As a general rule, it means that the Borland Database Engine (BDE) that Timeslips runs on is trying to establish a lock on a record in the database, and it does not receive a confirmation of that attempt fast enough (it times out).

It is often an indication that something with the network is too slow, but not specific enough about WHAT is the problem. So you can chase this one for a while.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nancy. Our network does tend to bottleneck in the AM. I take it I should just monitor and see if the problem persists?
