Re: autosaving hang

Thanks for the reply, Edmund!

There's nothing in FVDCERRS.LOG since the 20th.  I've cleared my TMP directory 
of all the temp files (there really weren't very many - less than 50 all told), 
so we'll see if it recurs.  It might just be one of those flukey things.  I'll 
let you know if I see it again.

Thanks!
Dave Shaw
