RE: Error copying documents

Adam, one requirement that has tripped me up is that the user accessing QDLS
through a share must be registered in the system directory.  A variety of
factors can come into play, for example, Netserver "Guest" access might be
the profile that is used to access the share if the users PC username and
password are not identical to the as400 user/passwd.  In this case, the
"guest" profile would need to be registered in the system directory.

I'm copying the files FROM the as/400 to a windows PC via network share.

I can't pick a different directory because the files I need to copy down off
the AS/400 are there. ;)
