Hi Rob
I have made progress, my users can now access the shares again, it requests a
user name & password which is what I wanted, they can read and copy from the
share but they can not write to the share, is this what you meant when you
said they were set a bit aggressive?? how\what do I change to allow the users
to be able to write to the shares??
regards
Tim
