My problem is that some of my queries just stop
responding in mid-execution, causing my application to
hang up.  This doesn't ever happen on my developement
machine (windows xp) but when we put the data on a remote
server and run it with the app on Novel the application
craps out and hangs.

Is there a reason why the foxpro tables stop resonding?

Can you post the sql? Does the Novell server have any special security
settings on the files/folder?

are there any quotas enabled?
does your app have 'creation' rights on the novell server?

Do you have any odbc timeout settings 'set' on your workstation?
