Jim
Thank you for your input. I actually had everything set
up as you listed. Late yesterday we doscovered that we
could set Manage area permissions at the area level -
that was the critical piece that we needed.
Thank you again!!

>> You do not have the appropriate rights to editing

>>

>> This behavior occurs because only users who have

can

does

>>
>> WORKAROUND
>> To work around this behavior, add the users who you
want

area
