I take it you have checked the File Sharing Control Panel to make sure that File Sharing is turned off? If not, go there and if FS is on, turn it off and then try erasing your RAM disk. If FS is off and your machine still insists that the RAM disk is being shared, about the only thing left to do that I can think off is to zap your PRAM (hold down cmd-opt-P-R at startup and wait for at least 3 startup chimes). -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, :::::::::::::::::::::::: Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.
