Filemaker pro 6 on windows unexpectedly quitting

[elab1]

Filemaker pro 6 on windows unexpectedly quitting when database is accessesed through the web.

We tried updating the patches and updates of the filemaker and web-companion but still it quits every so often without any sign or error telling what went wrong.

Can you please advice on what is needed to be done and what is causing this.

Pls help me!!!!

Which version of Windows?

Is this a new issue or has it always happened with your current configuration?

What do you mean FileMaker "quits?" You mean it freezes? Closes?

It's been a while since I've heard this on the Windows side, but it seems to be common enough on the Mac side, and there has been no universal solution yet, AFAIK... different things help different situations (reboots, corrupted db's, etc.). I think Mariano Peterson posted that on his Windows set up, he determined it was a web user cancellation of a request before the server could respond since it was busy doing another task (backup?) when the user initiated the request and then got impatient and went on to something else. When the server finally processed the request, there was no one to give the response to and it dumped. I can't remember exacty and I may be confusing it w/someone else's posts, but you can search the posts and find several threads about this... mostly in the FileMaker Pro Unlimited forum.

Before we didnt have any problems but I dont know what happened and the problem arised. I have 45 dbs running on the filemaker. Sometimes when i request throught the web. the filemaker just closes unexpectedly. I tried it on windowsxp and windows2K and it still the same.

It appears you are saying you have tried hosting the files on both a Windows XP and Windows 2000 PC. Since it doesn't appear to be OS dependent and the solution used to work fine then maybe -

*something has changed on your network

* a database(s) could have a corruption problem

* something has changed on the client side - browser settings etc.
