Hi there

You may want to check the file permissions of the share NOT just the NTFS permissions. Under Win2003, the default share permission is set to read only for all users. This is a change from Win2000 and NT4 when the default was full control to all users, and you had to then go back and restrict access.

Good luck
Gary
