MowGreen,

Thanks very much for the reply and I am sorry I neglected to list that I am running Office 2003. I used a couple of your links and searched on 'Error Code 57E' but nothing relating to 57E comes up - just stuff related to 'Error' and 'Code'. But I will follow your further suggestions and see if I can crack this nut because I spoke with a co-worker today and would'nt you know it - he is having the same problem! Has to be some good reason and some work-around out there. Just wish I had some idea of what I am dealing with - ya know, some direction to go in.

None the less, I will persevere and if I learn anything I will post it on VistaHeads as it seems a number of people run into this.

Again, many thanks to you for the reply!
