SYMPTOMS
When you open a Microsoft Office 97 document on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server, you receive the following error message:

Access Denied.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the document contains a control, and the user's %homedrive% in the user profile points to a read-only share or directory.

Controls in Office 97 products need to create an .exd file in the Windows NT user's %homedrive% directory. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
