>Hi Barbara,
>Not that it helps, but I'm talking about the Novell client settings not the server settings. You can say, (whether it will happen is another matter,) that to run this software you must go to the big red 'N' in the tray and select Novell Client Properties/Advanced properties/File Caching to Off and File Commit to ON.

Ah, OK. The next time they call me after their data's been corrupted, I'll have them look at this. But there is a chance that if I have them change it, a person from their systems dept will come through later and change it back. It wouldn't be the first time I've had a conflict with them. At one point, I had them using PCAnywhere so I could fix things on their computer remotely (it's quite a drive down to their site), and the systems dept reconfigured their computer, using the COM port for the modem for something else instead.

Fortunately, I don't do a lot of work for these guys anymore.
