Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't work at all. It did manage
to create the same behaviour in DAVExplorer though!!!

One strange behaviour is that even though windows thinks there's an
infinite number of subfolders (on checking the folder properties), it
always shows the actual folder in the location bar, no matter how 'deep'
I go. It's as if the screen showing the folder contents is not being
updated when you enter the folder.

Anyone else have any clues? This must have popped up before. We have a
brand new install from jakarta-slide-2.1-tomcat-5.0.28.tar.gz, and have
replicated the problem with a number of different XP machines.

We're all but ready to give up on WebDAV until decent client support
happens, which is extremely annoying given how long the protocol has
been around. Damn Mico$osft and their 'embrace and extend' to hell!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Paul
