I have 4 pc’s running in a local peer-2-peer network with W98 (2x), W2K and WXP-Home. Each pc runs Office 2000 (no updates).
The first W98 pc has a shared C:-disk (all rigths for everybody) with shared Office files (Word/Excel).
All other pc’s have a mapping to this disk (F:).
Up till March 23 everybody was happy. No limitations on using or saving files on the F:-disk.
Once in several months I run Win-update on all pc’s. Last Win-update’s were implemented on March 23. Since then it isn’t possible to “save as” or rename files on the W2K and WXP pc’s from within Office. I get error message (translated into English):
“No acces to map F:\Office\letters. The folder maybe on a volume wich is not available. It is also possible this folder is secured with a password.”
I can save new files on each folder in F: when I use the predefined name of Office. Also saving old files in a new folder on F: with the original name is no problem. Copying a file in the File-Open screen of Office with save as in this folder doesn’t give a problem either, giving the name: “copy of xxxx”. Renaming this file gives above error.
Within Explorer we don’t have any problems with saving, renaming and so on of files.
Using Office on both W98 pc’s don’t give any errors or problems.
I ran Office-update on the W2K pc getting SP1. But to no avail.
Who gives me a solution?
