I'm new to Windows 2000 and have been experimenting with the "Make Available Offline" feature of 2000. It works great when I am logged in as Administrator, but with the two userids I've tested, the sync. starts but fails with a message about not being able to write the file (I don't recall the message exactly). It appears to be an access rights problem. The users have "Full Control" granted in the network folder I that is being synchronized as well as on the entire C: drive.

Can anyone give me some ideas of where else to look that may be causing the problem?

Thanks.

1. Do you have full control at both the share point and NTFS file structure. Check on the file itself, not just the folder.

However, by your wording about "Not being able to write the file" it sounds like it might be something other than Shareor NTFS permissions.

Might there be a "Path not found" problem or possibly another process that has that file open, say it's a Word file opened by a second user, it would be in a "File locked" status. If you can get the exact verbage of the error message, I bet we could narrow down the possiblities.

Later.

Is this still a problem? The above posting should have resolved it. If not we need more info.
