No longer running a W98 / FP2000 work station to test it, but have the users w/ the problems tried recreating the mapped drives
after the SP was installed and trouble shooting web folders as per
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=287402

| > How/What does it break in FP2000
|
| If Office 2000 SP3 is applied to a Windows 98 PC with FP 2000 it seems to
| stop FP 2000 from working with any files on a mapped drive (ie. Files on a
| server). The work around is to copy the files to the local hard disk, but
| that's not very convenient if more than one person might want / need to edit
| the web site.
|
| The Server files are OK, as they work with unpatched workstations.
|
| Several people have reported the fault in this and the Public.Office.Misc
| conference, but as yet there has been no suggested Fix or even a means of
| removing SP3.
|
| The following is copied from one such message, as the explanation is fairly
| clear.
