Thanks for the advice yesterday re admin vs. user login.

One last challenge w. win xp pro:

My coworker has a "briefcase" setup on his laptop user acct
that he synchronizes with his personal directory on our
server. The server is running WIN2000 if this makes a
difference.

The folder on his XP Pro laptop says "Needs Updating" in
the Status column. When I attempt to "Update all items" in
the Briefcase tasks nothing happens. It does not appear to
be an option to examine the "properties" by right clicking
on the "update all items" text on the laptop so I cannot
see what the machine is trying to do.

Do you set this synchronization up with the server in a
special place?

Thanks very much - Tom
 
For this you might want to try mapping a drive. you do
this by right clicking on the briefcase select map
network drive and find the directory on the server. I
know this works with my documents b/c I've had to do this
to many computers in my district. after you set this up
every time you save to the briefcase your automatically
saving right to the server. any questions just e-mail me.
