Lotus WordPro

[Guest]

I have entered the Lotus Wordpro program using windows XP. The program will
not save any new files to my "D" drive. If I copy a WordPro file to the "d"
drive then open it with the program I can change things and save. With new
files I keep getting "Can Not Write to "D" drive". I can save to "C" or the
disk drive.
Any help much appreciated

What type of 'drive' is D?
Have you contacted the makers of/looked at the faqs for/got onto the forums
of Lotus Wordpro?

Thanks Shenan for your reply. It is a second Maxtor disk hard drive. It may
be a program problem so I will take your suggestion and look for a Lotus
Worpro group.
Thanks

I've seen this problem, and a bypass sometime in the last year or so. If
you give me long enough, I'll probably remember it. I'll see what I can
find. Contact me directly if I forget.

Two possible solutions:

Changing registry setting
HKCU\Software\Lotus\WordPro\99.0\lwpuser.ini\WordProUser\DirReadOnlyCheck
from 1 to 0 might fix your problem.

I fixed a similar problem by re-installing SmartSuite. Sledgehammer to
crack a nut, but it's 10 minutes to re-install vs. hours of
head-scratching trying to figure out what's going on.
