Access files from Windows 2000 on a Vax/VMS using Pathworks

[LIMS]

We use Pathworks ver 4.2 on a Vax/VMS ver 5.5-2
We run the processes: PCFS_SERVER, NBNS (and may be more)
We don't use any Pathworks-client on the PC, but simply "map a networkdrive" by rightclick on "My computer" - I suppose it is MicrosoftNetwork that is the LanManager-client.
It works very god under Windows-95, -98 and Windows-NT 4.0 but under Windows 2000 it does not. We can succeed in mapping the drive, we get a window to the Vax-directory, but it is empty???
We can use this empty window - We can put files into the window, and they excist when we look in the Vax-dir. We can also "open" the file from VB, but we can not make a "dir"-command in VB.

So, it nearly works - we just cann't se the files in the file-window.

Does anyone known a solution for this problem.

Thanks in advance

upgrade pathworks to at least V6. V4 is no longer supported and will not work with W2k client

Some versions of Pathworks have been fixed to work woth W2K.

Contact Customer Support numbers regarding you current Patworks version, and the issues with W2K.

I know for a fact that PW 7.2 works OK with W2K as I had to upgrade from 7.1a
