Does anyone understand the circumstances under which Desktop
Manager has this problem?

On my system at home, I use DM and never have problems.  Here at
work, it seems that you have to have the application folder open
to launch an application using the document.  The difference is
that here I'm using the network and at home I'm not.

Is this where the problem shows up?
