If I remember correctly, it means that there is some type of corruption on the client. You should ask them to run chkdsk /f on the drive in question, and then see if you still get the error.

I am receiving the following error messages from a W2K server backup.... 03/18/2002 19:17:42 ANE4042E (Session: 1014, Node: ACADNT5) Object name '\\' contains one or more unrecognized characters and is not valid. They are running the 4.2.1.0 client. I told them to upgrade to 4.2.1.20 (or should I go higher ???) client, but want to be sure this will address the issue ! Is this a UNICODE issue ? Our server is OS390 4.1.4. I was about to install the 4.1.5 patches and say they are up to 4.1.8, so I am going there, instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoltan Forray Virginia Commonwealth University - University Computing Center e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - voice: 804-828-4807
