This should work. On the main security page give the group read/list/execute
to the folder. Then go into "advanced" permissions and add the group again.
Then select "folder and subfolder" in the apply onto box and check all the
permissions other than full control and change permissions. What many seem
to miss is that a user or group can be listed multiple times in advanced
permissions. --- Steve
