- Hi,
-
- Yes, this is indeed a strange one! The first thing to try is to LOAD AFP
- WITHOUT the NOMULTIPLE option. As I think of this, I am not sure this will
- affect the problem, but it is easy to try and it MIGHT help out...
-
- I am finding that I am wafting on the effectiveness of this suggestion. I have
- just talked myself into believing that it should fix the problem because of the
- security issues involved. Try it out. Let me know if it works. If it doesn't
- mail me directly and we will work on the problem together...
-
- Think Peace...
