Re: Can't update IFS anymore

[John Myers - MM <jmyersmm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I had this problem once ... when I went to Win2K.  Suddenly, I had read 
only access, only!

In order to fix it, I had to specify my AS/400 user profile and password 
when mapping a drive (Connect using a different user name).  I didn't have 
the same name & password on my PC.

This could have happened if someone has changed the default information on 
that PC.

HTH,
