Yep, we have that very problem.  The problem according to Microsoft is that 
when the totally rewrote VB 3.0 to VB 4.0 they attempted to optimize file 
access and that causes errors writing to Novell mapped drives.  Microsoft 
merely, and smugly I might add, recommended a) using Visual Sourcesafe which 
does work on the network, b) Use VLM's in place of the older NETX or the best 
answer yet.. c) convert to NT   8)
