Cannot open a QDF file more than once, Quicken hangs on open

Tags: Intuit, Quicken, Deluxe 2002, Local install with data hosted on the network file server
I have a Quicken Deluxe 2002 QDF database, I can only open the file once and then Quicken hangs on the open.  It seems to have gotten worse and as days go on.  Let me explain, i have restored from backups about a week ago and i can open those about 5-7 times, and the more recent backups i pull (Backup Exec 11D Tape Backup) the fewer opens i can achieve.  It is an incremental backup, reset archive bit... So i am wondering if that plays a role, problem just started a week ago, and now i am having to restore the file from a previous date, the accountant has to re-enter every entry to bring it current, then we just hope it gets backed up and she can use it again...  I do receive an error when trying to open the DB if Quicken is already open (File-Open Command) it says "quicken needs to restart."  If i open the file by double clicking the QDF, it just hangs and eventual brings me to a blank quicken screen, as if no company was loaded.  any ideas??
