NT and 2K don't automatically grant all users access to all rights for all local resources.

When I did WI's PDF install to Win2K, we had to go back, install under NT4, upgrade to Win2K, and add the user permissions to directories and other resources by hand to AD. It may have been my own relative inexperience with setting up an AD environment (I understand the right way to delegate and add users/machines/scopes into AD much better now) but Amyuni's installer failed to even turn on spooling, which results in VFP choking when the printer is assigned to the device name. Not my idea of fun, but once we realized what caused the errors we saw, the fixes were easy enough. You're pointed to RAW datatype, correct?
