If Directory Archive Bit Is Set, Lotus 1-2-3 May Return Error ID Number: Q67404

2.00 OS/2

Summary:

The network version of Lotus 1-2-3 r2.2 fails to see directories when the archive bit is set on a directory. When Lotus fails to see the find the network license directory. This problem usually shows up on HPFS 386 servers because this file system makes use of the archive bit on directories. The archive bit is set when the ACLs on the directory change. This is necessary because ACLs in HPFS386 are stored in the files and directories themselves, and backup programs must archive the directory to capture these changes.

You can work around this problem by removing the archive bit on the directory. For example:

attrib -a Please note that this problem also occurs with HPFS and FAT file systems if the archive bit is manually set on the directory.
