Fwd: Information lost

[daniel bip]

Andrey,

Thanks for your reply. Have you ever moved an entire folder into another
one? (the folder itself, not the images of that folfer:
\\repository\folder1\ -> \\repository\folder2\folder1\). When I do so it's
when I loose all the information...

Thanks.

BR,


d.
