I don't see this problem, I can save to a network place as well as a UNC path (\\server\path\file). Could it be a latency issue with your server? -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ] :: Cream... usability for Vim :: http://cream.sourceforge.net |

However, using the My Network Places icon for the server, single clicking on one directory after another actually got me there. This didn't work with Save though - clicking on the server name just brings up a blank. cheers John |
