    I have deleted and re-installed virual directories; checked permissions about a thouasand times and still no cigar. But I suspect its a typical case of missing something. Any help would be very much appreciated. Can anyone point pont me in the direction of completely deleting and re-setting OWA, OMA functionality in SBS to defualt, or an A-Z checklist for troubleshooting such a generic error? I offer large amounts of love to anyone who can offer input

    Many Thanks
