It really hasn't changed. Perhaps you used Dave Baschke's os2trace tool,
which is different.

True, but according to the trace you did not try a SaveAs from IBM Works
to a network drive, so I have no way of telling you why the SaveAs might
be failing.

I've seen this happen with IBM stuff.

Are you saying you know why the SaveAs failed? If so we, are done. If
not, it's up to you if you want to track down the problem.

If so, you need to try the SaveAs, let it fail and then do a
File->Recapture to format the data relevant to the failure.

BTW, you really need to remember to zip up the trace files before sending
them. 148KB is a bit large for our dialup users. A zip would have been
5KB or so.

Regards,

Steven
