If you're trying to connect over Ethernet or Airport (that Netgear thing must be Ethernet) , stuff or zip the MUD folder first an unstuff it at the other end. That should transfer the whole thing as a single file and faster too. Sending folders by ethernet network is not too reliable. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
