yeah I tried that plus checking the permissions for most everything in all UC modules - no luck

I've been working this issue now for over two days and I think I may have to consider that some part of my install is broken. As an Admin, I can see the downloads in the user account but the UID # that appears as part of the link in the emails is always the same.

I've tried placing orders from different users(with different UID #'s) but the UID# in the email link to the file is always the same.

I'm tempted to just backup and ditch the current install and reinstall and start with a clean slate rather than beating a dead horse...

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
