SYMPTOMS
When saving a form or a menu to a Novell server from a Windows NT 4.0 computer running Novell IntranetWare Client 4.1, an erroneous message may occur:

"File ... is read-only."



MORE INFORMATION
IntranetWare 4.1 is the 32-bit client for Windows NT computers. The behavior is usually seen using this client on Windows NT 4.0 computers. The behavior has not been observed on a Windows NT 3.51 computer (with Service Pack 5).

The problem appears to occur mainly when saving writeable Form or Menu files that are within a project, although the behavior has also been observed with stand-alone files. In some cases, the behavior is more evident on Windows NT 4.0 computers that have Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 4 installed.

The problem appears to be intermittent when saving forms but occurs most when saving menus a second time. Other file types may exhibit the same behavior.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) On a Windows NT 4.0 computer with Service Pack 2 installed using the Novell IntranetWare 4.1 client, create a project on the Novell server.
 * 2) In the project, create a menu that has a Result of "Submenu" but which has no submenu, and save it.
 * 3) Modify the menu and attempt to save it. The error should occur when attempting to save the menu. NOTE: The behavior does not occur when "Command" is selected as the menu item result and a valid command is entered. The ReadOnly dialog appears intermittently when saving forms.
