------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Feb 12 17:16:33 +0000 2010 ------- I wanted to mention this in case it helps someone else. I was having trouble opening files from on a mounted network drive. The networked drive on OS X Server 10.6 using SMB, accessed by windows XP computer. Some files would not open, may or may not get a splash screen and open office quits/crashes. Turns out the offending files were under a folder that contained a space at the end of the folder name. Once name was changed, the problem is solved. Not so much a bug in OO, but a quirk with this kind of mixed OS networking. How to recreate: -Create a folder with a space at the end of the name on OS X server 10.6 and share using SMB -Create OO Doc in this folder -Try to open OO document on a PC running XP with shared drive mounted. Expected result: File Opens Actual Result: Splash screen, then nothing - or nothing at all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
