First, journalling is only on if switched on, and it's off by default, and second, journalling *only* affects local drives, and so would have nothing whatsoever to do with saving files on the network server. Moreover, the journalling file system (which, ironically, Microsoft implemented in the NTFS your server is likely formatted with) was introduced with 10.2.2, not 10.2.3. Finally the 10.2.2 combo update is available via the OSX pages in the Apple downloads section: <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosxcomboupdate_10_2_2.html> Finally, it isn't likely to be the 10.2.3 upgrade preventing your users from saving files to the server, since I've several users doing just that, who have upgraded to 10.2.3. What error are they getting? What, if anything, is showing up in the System event viewer on the server? Do finder file copies work between their systems and the server? (If so it's a problem with *Word* not the Mac...big friggen' surprise there!) Do you have the same problems saving Word files to their file shares mounted as SMB volumes? (go to Go >Connect to server and enter "smb://<server_name>/<share_name>" in the dialog. A login prompt should appear asking for their user name, domain name and password.) One gotcha that bit one of my users yesterday: he tried to move a bunch of files to our server and kept getting an odd error message (error -2000, iirc) Turned out to be the old 31-character file name limit, which Win2K's SFM still enforces. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
