>>Our network admin didn't swear. He investigated. <<
Supposedly the IT consultant will do that on Wednesday. However, there are so many flakey, non-standard and/or creative (?!) things about this network that I doubt his ability to investigate! There are at least 14 mapped drives and login scripts do things that only he can understand (if he does understand!) When I log in remotely, I have trouble finding the directory with the "current" data. There are several which contain copies of the tables.

However, if the bottom line is that all users must have admin rights to the workstation, the current process is never going to work. There are very good reasons why some users don't have those rights.
