I guess we are lucky that our new routine technician comes from Swinburne Uni and has a background working with Monash Uni .. both places make good use of a similar hybrid environment that uses Novell / Linux / Windoze. Say .. it is worth looking at some of the really cool things you can do on file servers with vmware technology. :-)

Thanks, Kevork. Alas we no longer use Novell. We've gone to the dark<br>side :-(<br><br>Kevork Krozian wrote:<br>> Hi Mark,<br>><br>> Sharing this with the technical discussion list ....<br>><br>> OK. VB 2005 wants to write to Documents and Settings on the local
