I have posted this twice before but I haven't figured out a solution and I haven't received a single reply. The problem is the SetTrustee() function of the NetWare C Interface doesn't always work. When I use it to set file trustee assignments on the W: drive it won't usually work. It will always work on low drive letters like F: or H:. In fact, it always seems to work on drive U:. I did see it work once on drive W:. It's not a problem with file security or anything because the tests were done on the same files in the same directories... just used different drive letters to map to them. I've heard lots of bad things about the NetWare C Interface but this is my first experience with it. Is this type of problem typical? Any clues or suggestions would be appreciated. I prefer E-mail responses. As always, if I get a solution I'll post it. Thanks.

Have you tried doing a striaght MAP X:=<pathname> to overwrite a search mapping and see if it still fails?
