Word 5.0: Library Link Spreadsheet Gives Wrong Error Message

5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

If you execute the Library Link Spreadsheet command, type the name of a directory, then press ENTER, Microsoft Word version 5.0 will incorrectly display the following message:

{DIRECTORY.}: File is locked by another user or application

At this point, if you press F1, the above message will be overwritten with a message indicating the amount of bytes free as well as display the files available in the directory.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To properly select from a list of spreadsheet files in a directory, type the name of the directory and press the F1 key rather than the ENTER key. An alternative method is to press the F1 key immediately after executing the Library Link Spreadsheet command, which allows you to navigate through the directories.
