Hi Wayne,
Been there, done that. We had some other issues with MicroSoft client. Primarily with printers and all these legacy apps. Unless there's a new one less than 2 months old? I've got an excuse for everything. The powers that be are preventing us from moving to NT servers, even though I and the IT department have been encouraging them to migrate. There's always
something!! <s>
