MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Word gives the error message “Access to this file required. Press Y to retry or Q to quit” if a network server is taken down while Word is accessing files from that server.

Two examples are the following:


 * 1) If a local copy of Word is accessing a printer driver that resides on a network server and the server is somehow taken down
 * 2) If a local copy of Word is accessing document files that reside on a network server and the server is somehow taken down

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes available.
