SYMPTOMS
When you try to write to a file, the action fails and a &quot;File Access Denied&quot; (error 1705) error message is displayed.



RESOLUTION
The steps you must use to resolve this problem depends on the network product you are using.

For a LANtastic network, do the following:

  Check the files and locks on the SHARE command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The following are the recommended settings: share /f:5120 /l:500  Verify that the .EXE, .RSC, and .OVL files are marked as read- only. If necessary, change the security using the MS-DOS ATTRIB command (for example, ATTRIB +R ). Ensure that the CONFIG.FP file on the server redirects the OVERLAY= to a directory other than the directory containing the FOXPRO.EXE file.

For a Novell network, do the following:


 * 1) Check the user's privileges.
 * 2) Have the user log in as a supervisor and repeat the operation.
 * 3) Ensure that the .EXE, .ESO and .ESL files are marked as read-only. If necessary, change the security using the MS-DOS ATTRIB command (ATTRIB +R ).

LANtastic is manufactured by Artisoft, Inc. and Novell products by Novell, Inc., both vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
