SYMPTOMS
When you run Microsoft Office OneNote 2003, OneNote 2003 may quit unexpectedly.

For example, OneNote 2003 may quit unexpectedly after you have been typing in your OneNote notebook for a short time.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the following two conditions are true:  OneNote 2003 automatically backs up your OneNote files, or you choose to manually back up your OneNote files. Your backup folder resides too many folder-levels deep.

For example, this behavior may occur if you have a folder structure that is similar to the following for your backup folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote\Backup\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4\Folder5\Folder6\Folder7\Folder8\Folder9\Folder10\Folder11\Folder12\Folder13\Folder14\Folder15\Folder16\Folder17\Folder18\Folder19





WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, limit the number of folder-levels that you use in your OneNote 2003 backup folder. To do this, follow these steps:  Start OneNote 2003. On the Tools menu, click Options. In the Category list, click Open and Save. In the Paths box, clickBackup Folder, and then click Modify.</li> Create the backup path that you want.

For example, create a backup path that is similar to the following path:

C:\Documents and Settings\ \Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote\Backup

</li></ol>
