PUB: Duplicate File Error Saving from Windows NT to Windows 95 (157787)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher 97
- Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 3.51
This article was previously published under Q157787 SYMPTOMS
If you run Publisher on Windows NT, version 3.51, and try to save a
publication across a network to a computer that is running Windows 95,
you receive the following message:
There is already a publication with this name. Click Yes to replace
the existing publication with the current one. Click No to return
to the current publication, where you can save it under a different
name.
If you click Yes, your file saves correctly. If you click No, a file
with the name you typed is created on the Windows 95 machine anyway.
This file has a size of 0 bytes.
It doesn't matter which file name you try to give your publication, or
whether there is a file with that name on the Windows 95 machine.
This message does not appear if you save to another Windows NT
machine, or if you save from a Windows 95 machine. This problem does
not occur with Windows NT 4.0.
CAUSE
When you save a file from a Windows NT machine to a Windows 95
machine, a 0 byte file of that name is created by the Windows NT file
called Commdlg.dll. Publisher initially saves your publication as a
temporary file. It then changes the name of the temporary file to the
name you specified. However, in this case it detects the 0 byte file
and displays the message.
RESOLUTION
When you receive the message, click Yes, and the publication will be
saved correctly.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
