Hey Nancy,

I checked the group file, and filePro is in group group as well as all 
the user names, including the reform login that is logged in on the PC.  
This PC with the reform login, runs the Reform program that creates the 
PDF file and places it on the shared unix drive.  It then gets rw 
permission and reform ownership.  filePro can not chmod it from in a prc 
table, and mutt seems to fail on getting it to attach from within the 
filepro prc table. 

Thanks,

Scott
