Hi Stephen (and Paul) Just a quick update to let you know that we have been successful (at last) in getting Proviewer to run over a network. The problem as identified by Paul, was the .mru file. However by making this file editable (by all) on the server itself, we have found that everyone can now run from the server version without any hiccups. Thanks for your help - the list to the rescue once again!
