Please log in for more thread options At the end of the day Bill I believe you will find that you have
researched this issue completely (based on what you have said)
and that there is no solution. If they can delete within a project
area, as you indicate they do need to be allowed, then if they
try to move something to a different project area where they can
write, then all will move up to the point where a delete is tried
that is disallowed. This usually means that substructure and
its files get moved to the new location and an empty dir gets
left behind. I have found no solution nor heard of one, other
than user education or scheduled examine and cleanup scripts.
