================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 4.0 == Microsoft Windows NT version 3.5 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When using PowerPoint 4.0 under Windows NT 3.5, when connected to a Novell NetWare share using NWLINK, you can save a PowerPoint file if the file does not already exist. However, if you try to save to an existing file or do a Save As to the same filename, you will get the following error:

Sorry, the file or directory is write-protected.

Saving works correctly under Windows NT version 3.1 with the released version of CSNW with same user rights and directory permissions on the NetWare server.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.

= WORKAROUND =

Save the file to a non-NetWare drive, and then copy over the network or save the file with a new filename each time.
