Bob,

I am guessing but I noticed MS has a thing about sharing stuff from the 
root of the C drive.

Check your share, make sure others are allowed to update data.
Check your attributes.  You can see them in the Explorer window when you 
view details and add the attribute column.  Maybe it made stuff read-only.

On the filepro menu, add an @ in front of the /fp/dclerk stuff.

This will hold the error on the screen so you can see it.

See what it is complaining about. 

Good luck  - We all love Windows for these kinds of things. (Sarcastic 
as all get out)
