Re: locksup when pulling file from share



Glen I appreciate your time with this but that seems to be the concensus.
Everyone keeps pointing to that link and it doesn't address my issue. It
does state that Powerpoint doesn't work well across networks especially
non-MS networks but it doesn't explain why. We have been able to pull
powerpoint files from the share drive plenty of times before without a hitch.
Glen thanks again
