Hi Rachel,
RA> The Company that he works for is setting up a Network in conjunction with 
a
RA> specialiazed software company.
RA> The problem is that although there are set up numerous documents and 
letters
RA> there is apparently no way to satisfactorily protect these documents from
RA> accidental changes or erasure.
 In using Netware 4.x, ANY file can be protected to whatever degree
required.
RA> The Company setting this up has suggested that the only option to protect 
the
RA> documents is by blocking access to the directory holding the documents on 
the
RA> network to all unauthorized employees.
RA> Unfortunately with the "Print Server" being on a separate PC any one can 
access
RA> all the directories by simply going to that PC and playing around:))
 Get a REAL network engineer to set it up.  What they have there is
not satisfactory in the least.
RA> We are neither experienced Word Users, however, reading, all the details 
in the
RA> "On-Line" Word help hasn't provided a satisfactory answer. Or have we 
missed
RA> something:))
 Word provides revision tracking of those the network permits access
of the file.  Excellent security is had by saving documents to the lan
server while running Word on the local pc.
