I suspect you are not explicitly launching an application, but instead opening a document on the shared disk. When you double-click a document, the finder first uses the desktop database on the disk *containing* the document to determine the appropriate application. If the app is already running, fine. Otherwise it will try to launch the the app residing on the *same* disk as the document, even if it is a network disk or CD-ROM. Only if the app is not present on the document disk will it try some other disk, such as your local boot disk. Some solutions are to always open your app first, then a document; open your documents by dragging them onto the correct app (or an alias) instead of double-clicking; or remove the extra copy of the app from the network disk (possibly by not sharing the folder containing the app). Program Linking is a different feature and is probably not involved in this. Bryan Kattwinkel <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
