mac NT4 permissions problem

[sean m]

Hi

I have a problem with some users on an NT4 SFM SP6a volume. The user (mac
os9.2) can open a word file and edit it but when trying to save it gets the
following error message 'word cannot save or creat this file. the disk may
be full or write protected.

I have rebuilt the volume, stopped and restarted the sfm service. Restarted
the server, to no avail.

The file and enclosing folder has change permissions, and i have also set
these to full. Again no luck.

This is only affecting ms word files anything else ie.. powerpoint, excel is
fine?

If I put the user into the administrators group then they can save no
problems, but obviously I cant leave them in admin group.

Any ideas please!

Thanks

Hi Sean!

I've read of several variations of this problem. Some deal with Windows
servers, some with Mac servers, some with Mac OS 9 clients and some with Mac
OS X.

I'm cross-posting your message into the microsoft.public.mac.office
newsgroup where I'm sure this has been covered and you're bound to get some
helpful information. Check that newsgroup as well as this one when coming
back to view responses to your question.

Good luck! bill
