Hi Michael, I work on different machines with specific account names as you do. However, I do not encounter your problem. My autofile preference setting are:
checkbox "papers folder location" tagged, with an entry into the neighbouring field like "~/BIOSAFE/Literatur" which in my case is the path generated when you select it via the "choose" button. The ~ obviously refers to your local user folder irrespective of the account's name. cheers andreas http://www.ice.mpg.de Am 12.09.2007 um 03:51 schrieb Michael Green: > I have home and work machines.
