Sorry, i left out the exact message displayed by the system.

The error message displayed by the system is as below :

"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, contact the program vendor."

It is problem of the Win 98 platform. Navision 3.60 have problems with this system. Please, if you can, upgrade to the Win2k or XP. Or you can try to use some external programs, which is able to clear the memory, system resources etc.

And second thing - recommanded is to have max. 75% of full DB... please, extend your DB...

1. Upgrade to XP and get all the updates
2. Check your C: drive and make sure it has enough space
3. Make sure you have enough memory. At least 256k of memory should do.

Do not rely on SQL's Auto-Grow to expand the database size. Monitor and expand manually as required. Keep the database between 60-80%. Auto-Grow is should only be used as a safety net, in case the database suddenly fills up the system won't crash.

Also how big is the log file and how big are the mdf and ldf files.
Remember that anything you do in a db is recorded in the log file.
So if you users run routines daily to create some records and then delete them, all is recorded into the log file.
