This is what I'm contending happens.  Vaguely reminds me of our phantom "Disk or network" error messages.  <choking>But of course these have nothing to do our network</choking>.

I have seen this when a mapped drive is not available.  Windows attempts to
find all of the drives and "freezes" on the one it can't find.  It
eventually times out and continues.

Jim,

<<A second issue with the same users is when they save a file the same
freeze happens.  All of our users PCs are set to save to My Documents folder
which is mapped to a network share.>>

  Sounds more like a networking/OS issue rather then an application one.
What OS are the clients?

Has anyone encountered any problems with Word freezing on opening when using
O97 on Win2K sp4?  We seem to be having trouble with a couple of
workstations where this is happening.  Word will freeze for 3 or 4 minutes
then startup and run normally.  A second issue with the same users is when
they save a file the same freeze happens.  All of our users PCs are set to
save to My Documents folder which is mapped to a network share.  I have sp4
and do not have any problems at all.  I've also not heard about this
previously.
Our notwork guys want us to upgrade to O2K3 as result of this sporadic issue
claiming that O97 is not optimized for Win2K and was never meant to run on
it.  Can there be any truth to that?

TIA,

Jim
