WD97: FileName Field Code Does Not Resolve Mapped NetWare Server Path Correctly

• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When there are multiple drives mapped to the same NetWare server, Word may not resolve the path correctly when you use the FILENAME /p field. Instead of the correct drive, Word may display the path relative to another mapped drive to the NetWare server.

Example:

Result: The field resolves to "f:\user\'docname'"
Expect: The field should resolve to "g:\'docname'"

This occurs when the following conditions are both true:

• There are multiple mapped connections to the same NetWare server but at different levels.
  
  Example:
  f: is mapped to \\"netware server"\public
  g: is mapped to \\"netware server"\public\user
  



• DONTUSEUNC has been set in the registry.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
