Ok guys here is the situation......!
14 users....all with their part, assembly, and the miriad of drawing templates, linked to one central location on the network.
2 users....linked to a carbon copy of the network, on our local computers. Same file structure as the network. Just local instead of on the network. The reason this is being done is to test flakiness of out inept network.
Ok, not to the meat and potatoes of the whole reason I'm posting. Every once in a while, for unknown reasons so far, someones templates will be gone. I go to the file locations in tools ops, and it is empty. They "claim" they didnt do anything with them, I have to beleive them, but you never know! I can relocate the folder where they are, and they are fine. I cant find a pattern, nor can I find a reason why this is happening. I do know that on the two computers that ARE NOT linked to the network, have never had this problem. Could it be....a hiccup on the network, causing them to lose their links? Thanks in advance! mrcswp
