SYMPTOMS
You may receive one of the following error messages when trying to save a *.DOT file and/or other documents from Word for Windows to a Novell Server using Novell's Redirector on a computer running Windows 95.

Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full or write protected.

-OR-

There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost.



CAUSE
When you try to save a file in Word, it will create some temporary files. One of the actions Word takes is to move the current file into a temporary file using the MoveFile API call in Windows NT. When this call is resolved through Novell's redirector, it returns with a failure. This causes Word to return the error message above.

NOTE: After installing the OS/2 Namespace on the Novell server, this error may disappear.



STATUS
Novell has confirmed this to be a problem in Novell Client 32 redirector, Please contact Novell for a fix and further information.

Additional query words: netware client 32
