How do you do this? I am a programmer who taught myself who to program so
I'm not always sure what these things mean.

The full project including databases and both server and workstation would
be in excess of 100MB uncompressed so would be too large to send. And taking
bits out of it would take a lot of time. I could make it to some degree
smaller but even then it would be very large.

This problem is happening in all sorts of different windows environments.
Sometimes I have the server on Mac and the workstation on windows. The error
will then occur on the workstation, virtually never on the Macintosh. If I
have the server on windows and the workstation on windows, I will get the
error on both machines - not all the time, but often enough to cause a
headache with the schools concerned. I must repeat that this problem
virtually never occurs on Macintosh.
