Richard,

thank you for the prompt reply! We have the standard setup for the program; don't see why it would not be set up with the user able to write to the system directory. In any case, I don't know how to check if this is so.

A \system directory exists under caesar on the workstation.

There is a message that flashes VERY fast under the announce.exe error. someting about an ESL. I checked this, and the ESL log data looks OK, as does crc check. The program would quit if it didn't find an ESL, right?

I'm trying to locate a user at this office who can try out the program for me...

Thanks again for any further help you might offer.
