TSM Server 4.2.2.12 running on Solaris 2.7 TSM Client 3.7.2.0 running on Solaris 2.6" The client is rather old (just after I was born :-) Have you tried with *any* newer version client? Solaris 2.6 is supported even in v5.1 so you have a wide choice of v4.1.x, v4.2.y & v5.1.z I would say this is GUI client bug which you could report in 1999 but not now. Sounds like I worked too much with IBM and started express myself as an IBMer :-) Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant
