Thanks for the suggestion! The thing however is that I can connect to the folders and see the contents when I first map the drives and also when I refresh the folders I can see the files. It seems that the maped drives time out or something!?!? What I really want to know is can I somehow make the connection refresh periodicaly. I have another problem emerging, for some reason it takes me much longer to pull up the database on a server from the Windows 2000 machine then from a Windows 98 one. Plus it seems that when a Windows 98 machine is using a certain database file the Windows 2000 machine can not access it???? Is there a way around this problem!?!?! And the final problem is I have an application which worked fine when I just installed Windows 2000 but now, for some reason, when I click on the executable file there is some activity going on for a few seconds, but then nothing happens. When I check the Task Manager and check the process it shows that the program is running!!! What is happening???? Please, any advice is greatly appreciated!!!! Leo.
