SYMPTOMSWhen you save a file to a network drive in Word Document format, the following error message may occur in Word for Windows:
-or- NOTE: Sometimes you can save the file the first time to a network drive, but the error occurs when you try to save the file a second time. Similarly, when you open a Word for Windows document from a network drive, the following error message may occur: These errors do not occur if you save the file to your local hard disk or floppy disk drive. Similarly, the error does not occur if you save the file to a network drive in a file format other than Word Document format, such as Word For Windows 2.0 format or RTF (Rich Text Format). These errors occur when you use Windows 95 if you use a real-mode network protocol instead of the normal Windows 95 network drivers. CAUSE
You cannot save Word documents on a network drive if your network operating
system file-sharing and file-locking capabilities are not turned on or are
set too low.
The MS-DOS utility, Share.exe, provides file-locking capability only to
your local drives, not to network drives. As a result, Word relies on
the network operating system to provide file sharing and locking for
files located on network drives.
RESOLUTION
To avoid these error messages, have your network administrator turn on
or increase the range-locking settings for your network.
