  That is how I have it now.

I just like to know why things are broken, and why I was seeing the behavior I was seeing with Toss, because a "permissions" issue did not make sense.  If that was the case using a Windows directory as a hard drive would be impossible.

It also did not explain why my IF NOT EXIST statements were returning TRUE, yet a new file was not being writen.

The IF NOT EXISTS was reading the actual Windows file table, yet the file could not actually be written because the AMIGA File Cache still said the file did actually exist..)..

I still want to see if I can get a CIFS share to work, because that would make an interesting solution for those that utilize a NAS.
