I can open files from MY DOCUMENTS into a number of
programmes no problem

I can open WORD and retrieve docs .... work on them and
then save them as the same or rename and save .... just
as before ...

In Lotus I can open the programme retrieve docs from the
same directory as for my Word Documents .... work on them
but I am denied access to the My Documents folder to save
them ( as original or renamed ) .......... I have created
a new directory and directed Lotus to use this as the
default directory ............ but I get the same results!

Everything was working Fine until the update.

Thanks for your help folk
