This article was previously published under Q93467 SYMPTOMS
When attempting to save a data file on a Novell Network using Macro
Recorder, you may receive the following message if the root directory
of the intended directory does not have full "write" privileges:
Recorder Error:
Cannot create the X:\XXX\XXX.rec file.
Make sure the path and filename are correct, or if you are using
a network, that you can write to it.
CAUSE
When you use Novell NetWare, Macro Recorder cannot save files to a
subdirectory if the root directory of that mapped drive does not have
full "write" privileges regardless of the subdirectory's rights.
To view the rights in any directory, type the command rights at the network drive prompt. These
rights are set by the system administrator using the SYSCON menu
utility or the GRANT and REVOKE command line utilities.
WORKAROUND
Use one of the following workarounds to correct this problem:
- Grant the root directory "write" privileges.
- Map root the intended subdirectory.
- Save the data file elsewhere and copy the file back into the
intended subdirectory.
