Only when opening ANY message in any conference via the remote machines
using wcreports.

All machines are up to date with windows/ms; actually the w95 machine
has had no changes in sw except for MSIE security updates whenever they
become available.  

This problem became evident here sometime just before or after an AUP,
around the time the big AUP where we had to do the conversion - maybe a
year or so ago? Like I said, no real big deal- most things I need to do
remotely via wcreports can be done except for open any given messages
unless I use wcreports on the winserver machine.

The convert thing itself didn't seem to work as I expected- wins never
did operate/run from the 'new' directories created during the
conversion (I have long since just deleted those dirs), but otherwise
everything appeared to work under the new WINS version and those
updates since, so I never messed or bothered with it.     

I am current with AUP, and also do gammas when Hector makes them
available.

As I recall from my old basic programming days, if you try to put
alpha/string data where code expects numerics you have problems but not
necessarily when you try to put numerics where alpha data is expected,
and I suspect that might be a clue to this given the 'type mismatch'
error.
