Oh I agree Dave !

There are some other stupid things they have missing too.

A PERFECT example is with Office. At my previous job, I was also a network
admin for Novell and MS networks. When setting up new users PC's (and this
was back in Office 97 days) you needed to specify a file save path. This was
a huge company so the tree structure was broken down into company/business
unit/department/user, etc. and it could get very lengthy. So in Word, no
problem just click on browse and click your way through. But not in Excel or
Power Point. And with MS being SO Network aware, that has changed, right ?
Nope, it is STILL the same way (at least in Office 2002/XP) - unreal...

That's a good work-around if you are looking for the file names but from
what I can see it doesn't reference the path name.  We can't let Microsoft
off the hook that easily!  <g>

I'm not experenced with QNTC but could you map the PC drive to it and use
OS/400 commands, query, etc. to make it work?  (IBM to the rescue!!!_
