An error occurs when you save a PowerPoint 2000 presentation or a PowerPoint 97 presentation to ODMA server (283785)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows

This article was previously published under Q283785

SYMPTOMS

When you try to save a revised Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 presentation or a revised Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows presentation to a document management system that does not allow changes to prior versions, you may receive the following error message:
There was an error accessing <file name> presentation.
However, the Open Document Management API (ODMA) 2.0 specification requires that a client allow the document management system to provide its own handling for this situation.

CAUSE

PowerPoint 2000 and PowerPoint 97 only support ODMA 1.0. There is currently no plan to support ODMA 2.0 in future versions of Microsoft PowerPoint. At this time, only Microsoft Word from the Microsoft Office product suite continues to enhance its ODMA support.
