Hiya,

I have files stored on a NT4 server in "folder" \\ntserver\y_drive\folder

these files are being accessed by win9x computers ...some of them cannot
access the files from "folder" but will access files if i move them to
"y_drive".

I've heard about the problems with w9x vs. NT when files are more than 2
folders deep ...but why do most work and only about 3 out of thirty don't?

I've jiggled protocals, reformatted etc.

any thoughts ??

thks
Dave

Hiya there,
I'm ready to move them to Y drive then. Are you talking about
partitioning the harddrive?

well , I'd rather not ..I need to keep the existing directory structure.

I would have to dump the contents of three folders into one ... my QC would
not be impressed :>
