Hi Dave,

I'll give it a try.

Thanks,
Gavin...

I've been doing this sort of work for a while now and this problem has only occurred recently. Come to think of it I've just installed SP4 for Visual Studio, I wonder if it's causing a problem? Also the NT4 server the HTML is housed on is one that I haven't previously worked on, I'll get the NT guy to have a look at the settings on that server.

After I've browsed one of my HTML files in IE5 I then try to MODI COMM the file and keep getting a 'File access is denied' message. I exit the Browser and still get the same problem. No one else has the file open and I have all the correct NT privileges. When I try and edit the file in anything other than FoxPro it edits fine, but trying to edit through VFP6.0 or FPW2.6 doesn't work. After waiting a couple of minutes or so the file can be edited in FoxPro. I'm not an NT4 expert and can't figure out why this is happening. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
