Re: WRKLNK incorrect

[Jim Franz <franz9000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don,

WRKLNK and EDTF have diff parms for selection.
For WRKLNK, what you chose in previous executions could inhibit your
selection.

Also, if these items appear in /tmp from some sort of processing, are you
sure that it was there on the first day you looked..?

Jim


                         Work with Object Links (WRKLNK)
