>Have run into odd situation at customer site with application installed on Win Server 2003 and accessing from Win7 Pro. The server and the workstation are in a domain -- all the configurations seem to work OK. Here is the scenario:

Are either of the test users, local administrators on the Win7 Pro workstation? If not, maybe any shortcut that is to be used by more than one user needs to be created under the All Users profile.
