I have a NT server that will create a Hidden file when you attempt to save a file to one of its shares. The hidden file has the same name as the file you attempt to save except that it replaces the first letter with an "a". Has any one seen this before of hae any ideas where to start looking.

Do you have Services for Macintosh installed, and is this a Mac share? Mac files have a hidden resource fork, and that may be what you are seeing.

Good luck.

thanks for the input, I had already checked for that, i do not have any mac's but checked for mac services just in case.

I do not have any Mac services running, I am not sure if this client side generation or server side, it does it from both NT4 and W2K workstations
