Mario,

If I may be so bold as to suggest a few things. I am reading this thread, and I would like to help if possible. This is not to brag, but I have used this program over six years and have never lost a note. Not one. So, I sit here and try to figure out how others are losing notes. First thing, in your case, is I would not do anymore spell checks. I never do them, because the spellchecker just isn't that good.

To everyone: This is just a bizarre thought, but I was wondering if permissions has anything to do with it. While I am usually very careful who has what permission to what, are you give FULL permissions to "Everyone" and "All Users" besides Administrator, Power Users, Owner and System? Just wondering since Read and Write would be all one would need but that would leave Modify and Full. I would go to the Amazing Charts folder, right-click, choose properties, then choose the security tab and make sure you have all of the above in the window, and they all have Full control. Normally, I wouldn't give users full control, but what the hell. And, the Owner doesn't really matter.

Now back to mariom:

What I am reading is "after spell check, bug report comes up, then message that AC has had multiple errors and must closes." I think you can just narrow that down to "after spell check, AC crashes, not to be particular, but we have all gotten used to that screen many times. When you forward the chart to yourself, you can print it, but I am confused as to why you can't open it again, choose not to delete from your inbox given that experience and continue on with the chart.

OK, the thing I started with, but got off track. I am not sure if I can help, but I would have a much better chance if I knew more about your system, e.g.

What computers are your using, Vista Business, XP Pro, XP Home, whatever. Are you running peer-to-peer, Client/Server non domain or Client/Server on a domain. Are you wired or wireless. What router or firewall are you using? Are you using software firewalls on your PCs or Windows Firewall or none. Is every PC using the same speed NIC card and are they autonegotiation? Is the computer that AC is on a standalone computer or is someone else using it? How are you sharing your AC folder. Is this happening on every computer that is typing notes or just one?

This information would be helpful. As far as the NIC information, you would need to right click on My Computer, select Hardware, then Device Manager then look at the properties of your NIC or Ethernet card in that list. Basically, AC is crashing at a certain point, and we need to find out why?

The best way to do this is to isolate things down to the lowest common denominator. If the PC that is acting as a server is being used by someone, in the evening try to reproduce the crash without that person on it. Then try to make it crash from just one computer. Does it only crash during or after spell checks?
