Hi All,

I'm trying out some document management & display techniques and want to
use a WebApp on an intranet. I can't seem to be able to get the WebApp
to have the rights to open the documents if they reside on another
server in the network.

I've tried changing the account that VDF Server runs as to the domain
administrator, and tried setting the account for anonymous access of the
virtual directory to the same, but so far I am unable to open the files.

Any suggestions, the files are word docs & excel files. If they are on
the WebApp server's local drive, they open without problems.

TIA

Ian

Do'h - restarting the service & application helped...
