Thanks! I'll give that suggestion a try. Yes, both workstations are
running XP Pro.

Also ... you explained the problems with ftp'ing well. I understand ....
but this may be a novice question, but when you refer to http:// for file
transfer ... what exactly is that procedure or what are you using? I've
always moved files by either using ftp or copy and past into FP folder
structure. If there's a better way, then I'm all for it!

Thanks
