Thanks Robert,
Now I have another problem I hope you can help me with. Everything worked
without problem except on one XP machine. When I clicked on an icon of a
program mapped to the server, the can't find location came up. I clicked on
fix and it found a link but not the correct one.
Anyway, on this XP machine I have two users both with administrator
privileges. One user works just fine - can access the server and the
appropriate programs and folders. But on the other, no such luck. I tried
everything to map a drive to the server, etc. but the user doesn't have the
required access. I deleted the user on the server and recreated it and that
did not help. I added and new user to server and PC and that did not help. I
made sure the user had the correct permissions on the server to the file
folders and program folders but no luck. Every time I try to create a
shortcut to one of the required folders I get the mapped drive is not
accessible although it is listed in mapped drives.
Any help on this one will be greatly appreciated. I'm about hairless at this
point.
