Jean-Francois, We tried it here as well and were very disappointed with the results. It would have been really good to have a single file-store accessible with a variety of clients, but alas IFS just doesn't work very well. A real shame.

I tried to create a network shortcut in w2k Pro and XP Pro, connecting to http://server/public/files It was prompting very often for authentification. I could drag files to that folder but was having error when saving file from Word or Excel... But could drag those .doc or .xls file to the folder manually >From what I understand, I heard that sharing a Folder from the M drive could be dangerous (corruption of the exchange database) We must create webFolder if we want to hare ordinary folder within our w2k server. but for exchange public Folder I was expecting that it would work smoothly... Any comment is appreciated...
