Many Thanks to those who have show some interest in this
topic but as yet
no solutions as such.  We are planning to move to a linux
file server
which would hopefully save us some money (we are a charity),
but we really
need to run paradox off our file server.  So it would be
really nice if
anyone out there in samba land could offer us some advice.
Should I be
posting this to the technical list?

Thanks
Chandran
