When starting an AREV session I am getting msg FS187.
"The station/process ID cannot be found. You will not be able to lock files or records. Data Corruption May Result! Log Out and correct situation!"
What is causing this?

Are you using one of the network products (NLM)? I've only heard of this error with Novell, so I'm assuming that's what you are using. do you have NetBIOS enabled?
More info helps i.e., workstation OS, server type, network driver in AREV…

Doug,
It sounds like something might be bad with the arevpid.dat file. What version of AREV are you using? For my 3.12 system here the only char in the file is n.

Here are some further details:
AREV 2.12Novell 3.11NLM 1.10 (with patchman.nlm & faxfix.nlm patches)TSR is loaded* We have a 5 user copy of AREV with the new IPX-Network driver installed that we use for our development needs
* We also have other backup copies of AREV from our manufacturing facilities on the network
*ANY copy of AREV that is fired off we get the same error and the @station variable is null
TRIED
-Unloading NLM and reloading (no help)
-Copied AREV to local drive (works fine)
What to next?

If I remember correctly, station ID is determined by asking the network what the ID is. On MS nets, it returns the machine name. On Novell nets, it queries the network card.
So, something is interfering with that request and returning null or failing. This would indicate something in the clients. The DOS Client32 could potentially cause this. So could EMSNETX and XMSNETX. What client are you using? What is the workstation OS? What can you tell us about the network?
