WD97: File Open Reverts to Program Folder Not Network Location (170914)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q170914 SYMPTOMS
When you set the Documents path in the Options dialog box (on the Tools
menu, click Options), to a Network location on a Banyan Vines or NetWare
network, the Open and Save As dialog boxes may revert to the Word program
directory.
NOTE: The Word program directory is the current location of the Winword.exe
file. Mapping a Network Drive Letter or using UNC pathing doesn't seem to
change this behavior.
WORKAROUND
Change the Open or Save As dialog boxes to the correct network location
before you open or save your file.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem does not occur in Word 2000.
