Mapped drive requires reboot

[Guest]

Hi, I’m running XP pro with latest service packs and office 2002 sp3 and
every time I delete and remap a new network I must reboot to get it to appear
when accessing it through MS word. If I browse to the network drive using
explorer it appears on the list but if I open MS word and attempt to access
the same mapped drive the old deleted drive is listed not the new one.

On every other PC with the same setup it works fine I’m a bit puzzled with
this one!

You probably need to close Word and it may still be running if you use it as
your Outlook e-mail editor. Check what's running with CTRL+ALT+DEL.

After removing the option within outlook to use word as the editor it works
fine, Thanks for that! but can I keep word as outlooks editor and get round
this problem another way?

Thanks again Graham!

Just make sure that Word really is closed before remapping.
