I helped someone fix a Notes problem - They'll never believe that back at NYC HQ! (Hopefully, they'll not find out. I want to go to IBM school to take Domino 8.5 certification classes. They might decide I don't need it.) Thanks for sending that error message - that is what pointed to the UNC problem.
