hey All,

Windows 2003, SP2.
Windows XP
Excel 2003 SP3

So, I'm trying to figure this out or atleast point the finger. I know it's
my coleague with the issue but trying to help him where to look. I have a
share setup with some folders. Different rights to folders. In all cases, I
set each folder not to inherit rights from the share. I then setup different
security levels for each folder. One fo the folders is actually a excel
spreadsheet for each employee to enter their time. I set the rights in a way
so each employee can only see their own.

A master spreadsheet sitting in another folder with macros, when ran, will
blow away all the rights i put on the users timesheets and even more, put the
checkmark back into inherit rights...and the rights it inherits are coming
from I don't know where cause they do not match the parent folder!!!

So A.

Can this be a macro thing?

B. Maybe the server needs a restart?

C. I have seen it where shadown copie runs and actually makes these changes
itself.


ANy suggestions?
