I am running dBASE IV Ver. 1.0 on an IBM PS/2 System 50.
Since we have several people using the system, we have
used the PROTECT facility to create a user identification
system and restrict data access/modification proveleges.

Since then we've had problems with .DBT files (the ones
containing MEMO fields). Whenever an error occurs in the
system, (in the middle of a report, for example) the system
tends to llos the pointers from ther DBF file to the DBT file,
resulting in a very confusing mess in the memo fields and 
a large lost time for recoivering data. 

Any Ideas ?! Suggestions ?! Anything ? 

Some other stuff :

	We have 1 Meg of memory and DOS sees only 640K. Any
	programs recommended to use with dBASE 4 for such
	purposes (anyone ever hear of HICARD 286 ?) ?

	We are about to install our database on a network,
	using the IBM baseband network cards and PC Lan Server
	Version 1.3 Any experience out there with this network
	and/or configuration ?
