Recently opened documents list on Terminal Services

[Hugh Jass]

My Office 2000 applications are not displaying the recently opened documents
properly in Word and Excel and not at all in Access. In Access I can open
the recent files from the File menu but when I start Access up the most
recent files are not displayed in the Open File wizard type dialog box.
This only seems to be over a TS connection (locally they seem to work fine).
In Word and Excel I get very odd file paths showing up. Sometimes these
show up as links to other users documents, as if it were pulled from their
profile.

Any ideas?

Seems like Office has problems with handling multiple user profiles.

Are you sure that Office was installed with the transform file and
that the TS was in Application Server mode and install mode during
the installation of Office?

Do yourself a favor and just replace Office 2000 with
Office XP. Forget the transform file and the brain damage!
No fus - No Mus! Just install and go back to work!
