However, when I click on "delete" I get an error message saying, "cannot delete---make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use". I've never "write protected" any of my documents. Why can't I delete? TIA Richard Gillespie, DC mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
