After seeing these messages, I tried OOo 2.0 on a W2K workstation, opening a file residing on a shared folder on a Win98SE workstation. I had NO problem with this. I wonder if there is an issue with accessing files on remote NTFS partitions.

I think that this is another instance of the problem reported in issue #
53184.  Please log in to OpenOffice and add your example to the comments
so that they have another example to work with.  Even more importantly,
please vote for the issue so that we can increase the chances of it
getting done sooner.  I submitted this issue quite a while ago and as
time goes on we are getting more and more occurrences of it.  There
seems to be a trend with underscores in the names of the servers
exhibiting the problem but currently we have not been provided a
solution.  If you have never used OpenOffice's issue tracker please
reference the documentation on the website, or email the user group
again ([email protected]), for assistance.  Best of luck

Hi,

I recently installed OOo v.2 on some computers in my office LAN.

Server :    Win2K server
Workstations: win98 and winXP pro

1.    PROBLEM: From a win98 workstation, when I try to open an OOo v.1
file residing on the server or an xp machine I get a "file does not
exist" error message.

a.    All file manager functions eg. copy, move, properties etc works
and I can open text files(residing on the server or another winXP
workstation with notepad from the same win98 workstation.
b.    Folder permissions are open to EVERYONE-Full Control
c.    I can open the same file (residing on the server) from another
workstation (win98) running OOo v.1.14 or winXP running OOo v.2
d.    Same file (residing on win2k server or xp pro workstation) copied
to win98 workstation can be opened and works normally.

2.    PROBLEM: I cannot select the
Tools>Options>OpenOffice.org>View>"Use system fonts for use interface.
a.    The check box is greyed-out on my win98 machines.
b.    It is possible with xp machines.

3.    NOTED: OOo v.2 saved files (in OpenOffice.org 1 format) is about
10-15% bigger than same file saved by OOo v.1.14

Hope you could let me know how problems 1 (high priority) and 2 can be
solved asap as I would like adopt the OpenDocument standard across all
my workstations in the office and at home.

Thanks.

Daniel Chern
