Hi Bruce,

You should have these data files as long as someone is in the OE data. They should get cleaned up (ie deleted) when people exit OE. Every time a user performs a smart-find search on a field they haven't yet done in that session, a new file will be created.

We have heard of issues like this when users sign into Adagio with the same ID (ie SYS) rather than having a unique user ID for each user. Can you confirm that all of your users have unique sign-in codes? This is the correct way of doing things.

Within the smartfinder control (OEFCTL), this keeps track of the 'next smart finder file number'. An error could occur if for some reason this 'next number' value is not updated and wants to create say OEF001 but it is already there. I am unaware if this has ever happened before, but simply identifying the logic.
