     Does anybody have experience of using EndNote on a network?
     We are looking for a standard bibliographic package to
     provide to our users over the network, and I have been
     evaluating EndNote.

     It seems very suitable in many ways but I had a specific
     problem with the EndNote TSR, in that when it pops up it
     tries to create a temporary file in the directory from which
     it is run - and if it can't create the file it won't pop up
     (using EndNote 1.0).

     Obviously a shared copy of EndNote would be installed on a
     read-only network drive, which means that a shared copy of
     EndNote won't work in TSR mode.

     Does anybody have a fix? Is there some way to force
     temporary files to be created on a local drive? Is this
     problem corrected in a more recent version?

     Any other observations of problems etc. experienced by
     people installing EndNote on a network would be welcomed.
