Passing windows authentication from Rev

[Roger.E.Eller at sealedair.com]

Ken,

I tried your suggestion, but still no luck. I don't like using mapped 
network drives because the letter assignment can be anything, thus making 
it hard to manage on various machines. But I may have to resort to that 
for this situation. If you (or anyone else) think of any other 
possibilities please post your ideas to the list.

Thanks.
