SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to save a file as text only from Lotus 123 for Windows version 4.0 or 5.0 under Windows NT, the following error appears:

Unable to access output device

This error also occurs when you print from Lotus 123 for MS-DOS using the backslash key (/) instead of using the Windows menus to print.



CAUSE
Lotus 123 exports text and prints through a the WINGEN.DRV driver. This driver was developed by Lotus to work with Windows and does not work with Windows NT.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, print to file using the Generic Text Only driver included in Windows NT 3.51 or 4.00.
