Private distribution lists in my contacts folder. The GAL appears first with the public address list, then I select contacts from the drop down list.

When I am sending a message and click on 'To' to bring up the select name lists, my distribution lists aren't showing up anymore in the drop down list. We are using Outlook 2000 ... has anyone got any ideas? Sending messages out to 10+ people and having to select them name by name everytime is...

The wizards button in my access 2 database won't work. I keep getting the message "Can't Update. Database or object is read only" It is installed locally on my Pc so there should be no issue with it being locked. I've tried a couple of things to no avail. I have full access to all the...

We have a Deskjet 840c installed locally on a Pc. It worked without problems for a couple of months but now a very annoying error message appears with every print job. Basically you go to print something, the printer starts to print then the following message appears on screen "There was...

I am trying to restrict Pc use after normal working hours. I have the Pcs in question restricted to certain logons times, but many users "forget" to log off their Pc's all the time. Can anyone give me a command which I can use to force logoffs on Pc's, and does anyone know of any apps...

I'm actually in the process of sharing out the individual folders at the moment. The person who originally configured the server, didn't setup home directories and now we have userarea foldernames on the network which don't match to the usernames! Renaming all of the folders is sure to cause a...

I have a Belkin Omni viewer connected to 2 Win2k servers and an NT4 server. There is a problem with the connection to the NT4 server. When you switch over to it the cursor goes crazy and starts flying around the screen and right/left clicking on everything. If i use ctrl-alt-del and go into...

Ok probably another incredibly simple question. Everyone on our domain has their own folder on the network. I have set the paths up for each users home directory in user manager but they only work on the win2k machines. The network drive is \\EXELPDC\SYS But for some reason the NT machines...

I have just setup scripts on our NT4 server for the first time. I have a batch file with net use commands created and working fine on the NT machines. I have copied the batch file locally on the Pcs to the system32\repl\import\scripts folder. On the Win2k pcs is there a similar folder to copy...

Thanks realised the problem fairly obvious now after youhelped me out the Pc I was trying to setup Pc Anywhere on was a mail server so it had RRAS running. Not a good idea to have a dial in on a mail server anyway so just set it up on another Pc.
