Error "Access Denied" Saving To Another User' |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer receives the message "Access Denied" when trying to save a document to another user's home directory. The customer has all rights on the network except Read and Supervisory. The customer is using the Novell 3.11 network. Solutions: Novell version 3.11 monitors directory rights differently than previous versions. Instead of Read and Open rights (like in Netware 286), version 3.11 uses Read and File Scan. WordPerfect 5.1 must be able to read a file in order to verify data integrity. By not granting Read rights, WP 5.1 will generate the "Access Denied" error message. To work around the problem, the customer can either create a WP macro that will take them out to DOS and copy desired files to specific directories, or the LAN administrator can grant Read and Create rights for users that want to save new documents to other users' directories. For example, a user can create a document and place it in a "Drop Box" directory. A drop box directory is a directory that has only Read and Create rights; no File Scan rights. The user cannot see the list of files in the "Drop Box" directory, but they can save new files to directory. |
