    smb connect to AD 2003

    I started another thread talking about some problems loggin on to AD 2003, but this seems to be a seperate issue. Has anyone else out there with an AD 2003 domain had trouble connecting to shares? This seems to correspond with our upgrade to AD 2003 from 2000.

    Authenticate to AD

    I know this can be a bit of a pain, but there are a couple of tools out there that I have had working successfully, but I am a bit concerned about whether or not they will be reliable solutions. 1) ADmitMac - This seems to be able to work, but it was a bit quirky for me. It bombed my computer...

    dbl click listbox when no items exist

    I have a listbox that I want to allow users to double click to add an item. The problem is that the double click event only fires when the user double clicks on an actual item in the list - not in a blank area. I can use the mousedown event, but that only works for single click. Any ideas...
