Hi Kurt,

Thanks very much for the reply.  My comments are inline...

Tried all three of these settings.  Was forced to set 'level2 oplocks'
to 'no' as well, as testparm flagged this as being required.  However,
no joy from any or all of these settings.... :-(

The first time I tried for a response on this problem from the list, I
got a single reply that suggested the problem *can* occur on w2k servers
also.

Well, this is the only problem I have found...that's why I think it's an
AutoDesk problem.  However, since there are so many end users running
w2k, there must be a solution.  It doesn't show up in the knowledge base
at AutoCAD however.

Any other suggestions?  I wonder if the routine has been configured
incorrectly to be much more specific about the ownership of the file
that it wants to read.  But why it will work if the file exists on the
server already I can't get my head around!!
