Has anyone seed this errror and have any ideas on how to fix... I ischecked our boots and data files and all seem ok...

Error Message - 018 - Error in writing to file - @VBM99

Thanks in advance for any help....

I have seen where ischk was fine but write errors occured. Copy the file so you have a backup and then pack it. You should be fine. If this is Unix and not Windows, a write permission may have inadverently been changed. Make sure it is rw-rw-rw. Make sure you shut down the PROIV service before attempting a pack. HTH

Also - I think your file is the VIP backup file. Make sure it is not too large. Check the record size and increase it if necessary.

As Lewis says - this is the backup file for VIP so it's likely it may have filled up if you have an old/very active system.
There are tools in the System Administration window to archive off objects from the backup file, restore or clear it. The ProIV_documentation.chm help file in the client folder has instructions how to use them as well as how to ispack/isout vipbm99.pro to compact its size.
