Well, Evan, it must be in specific circumstances coz I have never experienced
the problem. Also there must be loads of other NetWare users on UT and
I have not seen this type of problem reported ever since I have been
on UT .....

By the way, are you simply saving forms or form classes. The reason I am
asking is that as regards classes you need to have both the .VCX and the .VCT
Read-Write enabled.

>VFP 5 and 6 are documented to give a read-only error when saving forms and menus on Netware 4.x volumes. The problem was first reported in May 1997 (with VFP5) and reviewed (but not yet fixed) in Oct 1998. The article # in the MS Knowledge Base is Q168055.
