You don't have to be an Owner - you need 'Change Permissions' Cheers Ken

I also encountered an error about incorrect acl size, so I ran the resize switch. I cant find much info on that issue. I wonder if there is some corruption on this volume, I am going to run a chkdisk. Thanks! jlc From: Miller Bonnie L.

After that, sounds like you might start with Dumpsec and see what's left from ownership issues: http://www.somarsoft.com/ -Bonnie From: Joseph L.

There may still be some issues pertaining to ownership and me not being able to access the files to add the perm. How could I traverse the entire structure, and search for what few mods he made with ownership while removing all sec groups/users except those who use the data? What a mess... jlc ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
