Yes. It's shared by default via group policy. Note in my other post that
it works when I configure the permissions through the Sharing tab
permissions button.

The particular workstation is the accounting server. Until the migration to
SBS 2003 is complete and trouble free, I won't migrate the Accounting
application. So we'll share if from the workstation until then.

Thanks for your suggestion. Can you offer a resource that explains the
difference in access when using the "Sharing" tab versus the "Security" tab?
