I have created a mailbox that people send their resumes to for jobs availible here. One person can access it no problem, but the other two people cannot. When they try to access it they get an error message:

"Groupwise: Dialog create failure."
Then a box:
"An Attempt to create a window failed. The
probable cause is too many windows are currently open, or not enough Windows Resources are availible.
Close some windows or exit other applications and try again"

Then the client locks up... .
We are using 5.2.6, no document properties are being used we don't use that feature. Windows resources are fine on all machines being used. Even tried on other machines with same users and the same errors appear. tried analyze and fix . . sameproblem. . .
What could it be?

This is a complete guess, but to start with the "probable cause" is usualy wronge. I believe that maybe the email hosting software or the location of the emails is only allowing one terminal to connect and read the emails at a time. I have experiance a slight differnt problem in the past. My fix was to creat a box for each user and place it under a disk quota. Then when the email hits the default mailbox, have copies sent to all the others who need to view the file. You will often find problemswith files that remain on the servers system (ram) as opposed to opening inside the workstations ram.
