[vet-mm] flash problem

[claire]

Thanks Jane,
We do run a Novell network, however, have been using Illustrator since about version 6 without any hassles, so it's strange that the problem has only shown up in Flash.
I will mention this to my techie though and see if it sparks any ideas.
One of the mysteries of life!
Claire :-)
