Thanks Jon. When I first read your email I thought 'but that's exactly what
I can't do because the folder settings are on the server and apply to all
pcs the user logs on at'. But if you're doing that successfully.......????
So I experimented some more and eureka. What you're saying is that the
global setting in Tools\Options as to whether to autoarchive at all or not
is a local setting so can be on at one machine and off at another. Stupid of
me not to try it before, but thanks for the pointer Jon.
