Hi All

Is there anyone that could maybe tell me if there are any
incompatibality issues with opening a powerpoint file
stored on a novell server over a novell network running
Novell client 6. We can open powerpoint locally on the
machine as it is a Windows 2000 box but as soon as we try
to open a presentation from a Novell network share it does
nothing.

Please help
 
Yes, there are known issues with running PPT across a Novel Network. If you
visit the Novel knowledge base site you will see a long list of them. One
thing that helps is to install the Windows version of the Novell client on
the Windows machine. (As opposed to the the Novell client.)

However, with that said, opening a presentation across the network is
problematic with all networks. Much better to copuy it to the local hard
drive and open it from there.
