Thanks go to everyone for their input.

This is a completely new installation of all the modules on a Win2K3 x64 dual quad core terminal server - gobs of power, gobs of memory & gobs of space.

Several other applications run on it w/o any problems so I tend to trust the TS installation as no other apps are having any problems.

The server is used solely for TS and is not the domain controller.
The Adagio databases are on another server.

Q: Advantage Database Server is running on the server where the Adagio files are present. Could the ADS C/S service be stepping in?

Q: Is there a technical brief discussing rights etc.. for TS?

Thanks in advance and,

Cheers, JK
