Thanks for the responce.
The problem was that she was unable to modify any of the files in the SHARED
DOCUMENTS folder.

I fixed the problem by changing the SIMPLE FILE SHARING option under
Explorer>Tool>Folder Options>View

This made it so I could easily controll folder access by givning me a
Win2000 administration view--something I am more familiare with.

And to be sure....she didn't have full access to the files. Funny right?
