I have MAC with Office 98 for Macintosh installed attached to the NT
network. Two NT 4.0 SP6a servers have services for Macintosh installed. When
I try to open Word document on network MAC volume with Word for Macintosh I
am getting blue screen on file server. Same situation when I try to save new
document to the server. Also with Excel files. However I can copy files to
the server. Also I can save documents directly to the server from other
programs like Photoshop or others. So problem is only with Word and Excel
98. Blue screen traps on NT server are 0x00000050 (0xfffffff8, 0x00000001,
0x00000000, 0x00000000) or 0x00000024 (0x001901be, 0xfb58ec54, 0xfb58ea90,
0x8011213c).I am getting also errors 0x0000000A and 0x00000044. The behavior
is allmost the same on both NT servers with MAC volumes.

Installing Mac services on a NT machine allows a Mac shared volume to let Mac files retain their Resource Forks. However Mac services does not allow you to control Mac applications from that shared volume. Did I understand correctly that from the Macintosh you are trying to save Office files directly to a Mac shared volume?

The problem appears to be with the NT server, not the Mac.

Try to reinstall services for Macintosh on the NT Server. That should repair damaged or replace missing support files.
