Since the beta Novell client became available I installed it on my test
machine and can sign on to the Novell network. The problem is getting files from my shares to open, the basic message is access denied, contact your administrator. I can see all the shared drives and open all the folders. The problem is I can open .txt and .pdf documents but none of my Microsoft Office Files 2003 or Office 2007 (saved in 2003). I can't save those types of document types either, but I can move .txt and .pdf files without issue. I changed the value of the GPO Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated," as outlined in a web document without luck. There are no errors in my event logs and turning off the local firewall didn't help. McAfee 8.5i doesn't give me anything and the Novell guys here are turning their heads. It would be easier to find if text or Adobe 8 were a problem too... Any ideas? |

Can you copy an Office file from the Novell server to the local computer
then open it? In other words is the problem with Office or with network permissions? -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "Johnsji" wrote in message ...

Kerry,
I appears I can copy an Office (2003 or 2007) file from the share and open it on my desktop. Also, if I rename it I can copy that file back to the share. I was thinking network permissions, or setup since this is our first Vista machine, but why could I use Adobe and text files without an issue? Sorry such a simple answer escapes me and any help you can give is appreciated. "Kerry Brown" wrote: Can you copy an Office file from the Novell server to the local computer then open it?

I don't know enough about how Office works to say but I'd guess it's
something to do with the way Office opens files. It may also be because of the Novell beta client and the way it interacts with both Vista and office. You should post the question to one of the Office newsgroups or possibly try Novell support again with this new info. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "Johnsji" wrote in message ...

This may be related. Other people are reporting a similar problem and they
aren't using Novell. The problem may be related to antivirus software protecting network drives. http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/...=817&siteid=17 http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-623...geID=22862 64 -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "Johnsji" wrote in message news ![]() Thank you Kerry, I'll give it a shot.
