Just a thought, does your Mortgage software have an Auto save feature? If so may you can set it for every 5 or 10 minutes to keep the share active. I would think someone has developed a work around for this by now. Have you Checked Google for one?

All the clients but one are XP home edition. I have a share on the server which all workstations are able to see, view, write, edit, etc. After 15 minutes of inactivity the share obtains a red X over the share icon. I am able to reactivate the share by clicking on the red x with no problems. I understand that Microsoft, in their wisdom, has a share timeout after 15 minutes of inactivity. This might not seem like a problem, but the mortgage software will default to the local hard drive if it cannot find the share; therefore, writing data to the hard drive and not to the shared data drive. Can anybody help me. I have come to the conclusion that the one XP Professional box that I have does not have this problem. I don't want to upgrade, buy, or install XP Professional on all the boxes.
