Maybe the company proxy server is caching the password? You guys do have a proxy or firewall right?

Big tip, try not to read IWETHEY at work, they may not understand what it is and use it against you? At home one of those free Internet companies will work just fine.

One thing that you can do with floppies, if they haven't disabled flopy access, is to get the DOS version of PKZIP and then Zip with the "-&" option to spawn disks. This won't work in NT for some reason, so if you use NT, get the latest DOS version. The DOS version won't need to be installed and won't cause DLL Hell. Sounds like you are working at a company like the lawfirm was, I so much as install WinZip and they got upset and made me take it off. I remember the Techs telling me to support it myself because Visual BASIC was not a standard part of their workstation install! So any tech support issues I had to handle myself and it took time away from my other projects.
