I like that idea plexer, do you know of a way of maybe specifying the source folder to be copied into the h: drive. I'll explain why, client files originally are on the server it is a folder full of specific files required for facility to run, also a place for user specifics on facility to be stored. The idea in placing this folder on the H drive is to allow these user specific settings to roam with the user which is the reason why we are doing this slightly different to danIT.
