Rob,
 
 RG> I recently upgraded to PFW 5.0 from the first window's

First, I'd make sure that a) both user have unique user names, b) both users 
are using the same .NET file, and c) that both users have rights to the 
target directory _and_ are using separate private directories.
 
Next, I'd look at the configuration.  First, make sure you're not using 
32-bit file access; it's broken--period.  Also, see whether or not you're 
using VSHARE (as opposed to SHARE).  If you are, then make sure you've set 
the Windows component of SMARTDRV to be no higher than 128KB.  (again, there 
are problems.)
 
If these don't help, get ahold of the TI's that Tech has on WFWG.  There's 
about three or four (if memory serves) and they outline configuration tips 
and so forth.  
 RG> The Second Problem is regarding reports.  I changed the tables to 5.0, 
 RG> and then designed a new report. The report works fine
 RG> until I deliver it.
 RG> ...but then an error message comes up that

 RG> from source.'
Check to make sure that there aren't any extra copies of the report floating 
around--perhaps in the private directory or some other source directory.  
Also, make sure that the delivered version in the directory that you're using 
is compiled from a _saved_ report design, e.g. one that you've explicitly 
saved in 5.0.  (That shouldn't make much difference, but there are 
differences in the file format between 4.5 and 5.0, so it may help.
 
Hope it does...
