Next message: Giles Anderton: "RE: [WinMac] Strange disk."
Hi Bob,
This is a long shot, but it could have to do with how your Mac sends
authentication information to the W2K server. Do you use the UAM (user
authentication module) that comes with Services for Macintosh or do you rely
on the built-in UAM in the Mac OS?
There could also be issues with locking on the network because you can save
the first time but not after that (that is what you meant by 'resaving',
right?). Try this: when you get the message see if you can save as another
format on the network drive ... if it works, you need to look at the 'range
locking' on your server.
Last but not least, check to make sure that the total length of the path you
are saving to is not longer than 255 characters and does not contain illegal
characters. Somehow I don't think that's the problem because you can save
once. But still, check it out...
HTH
Wim.
