Briefcase problem
I am using Windows XP Pro in both my PC and notebook. I
have been trying to get Briefcase to work between the 2 computers. I am able to move a file from the PC to the notebook and add data to the file in the notebook. However, when I try to update it, I get the message that it can't be done as it is "read only". The attributes are not set to read only and the folders are set for sharing. I am new to this and is there something I am missing? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Norm. |

Hi,
That folder on the notebook needs to assign read and write permissions for everyone. Currently, it is at the default for a share which is read only.
