First of all, thanks for getting back to me, Steve. I've seen your name
associated with several posts regarding this issue.

I tried your suggestion, or at least your suggestion as I understood it. I
went to the initial Windows logon, and inserted the server name in the Domain
box - there are only three boxes; username, password, domain. It came back
with exactly the same error as when you enter the server name in the domain
box of the Change Password dialog, which is "The system cannot log you on now
because the domain 'servername' is not available."

Did I do the right thing? Any other suggestions?

Thanks again.

Franc
