After a full day of searching, I still haven't come up with anything on the
internet that provides any clues about this problem. Can anyone else out
there confirm whether or not they have the same problems when using Offline
Files? And also whether the same problems are encountered when you are
connected to your Offline Files server versus when you are actually working
off line? (I am on the road using files off line, and don't have the option
of testing while connected to my server right now.)

Thanks,
Kevin M.
