Hi All,

Have tried this question on the Mac forum with no joy, so I thought I would speak to the NT boffins (if there are any left!)

I am running an NT4 server (SP6) and also some OSX Macs. Sometimes (getting more often) when a file is moved from the Mac to the NT system a file will become corrupted. The file will not open, delete, copy, move etc and when you look at the properties of the file it only carries the first tab for information, which further suggests corruption of the file.

Things to note:

* Rebooting the NT server unlocks the file and allows it to be deleted
* The problem seems to occur only to files that are in the same area each time
* The problem can occur to any format of file, so far it has happened with .txt, .pdf, .tif
* I often kill off processes associated with resource forks left open under people's login profiles to NT (resource forks created when files are moved from Mac to NT, not sure this has any relation to problem)

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Jimbo
