Hi Tamar,

>But I think Bret's point is that the association may not be right on the student machines. What happens if you double-click a DOC in Explorer on those machines? Does Word open? If not, there's your problem.

Yes, the association on the student machines is set up correctly. Double clicking on the file wordperfectly, uh, I mean, works perfectly. < g >

Any other ideas?

Thanks!
