I have a user that continues to lose access to a file I continue to give her access to! I am giving access to one particular file in a directory by using the Trustee File Assigmnet function in Syscon. Each time I have set it up, I go to her computer to make sure she really does have access, she does. The next time she needs the file, it's missing! We are running a Novell 3.2 server. Any suggestions? Thank you Lindy

Does this file get updated often? If so, how does it get updated? If someone just alters the existing file the trustee assignment should stay. However, if the file actually gets replaced during the update (the process actually overwrites the filewhich, technically, deletes the file) the file-level trustee assignment would be lost.
You'll probably have to consider a directory-level rights assignment.
Think about the answer gievn number 2. If the file is a microsoft excel file each time you save it the file is deleted and then the new one is saved with a made up name and then renamed to the original file name. this wold then give you a problem.why not just create a sub directory and assign the rights to that ?
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
