Yes I had hidden files showing, makes it easier to find the upteen temp word files that get dumped everywhere other than in the temp directory. Resets to hidden and tried again still fails with the same file even though you cannot see it now. Looks like I will have to do a more selective 'sync', though the question of why it worked before obviously still remains. Adrian -- acrafer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
