APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q108465
SYMPTOMS
This problem may occur in other applications in addition to those tested. Adobe Illustrator, Aldus Freehand, and Microsoft Powerpoint were tested. When you try to save a file from a Windows NT server (running Services for Macintosh) to a Macintosh computer, error -123 appears.
NOTE: In Aldus Freehand, the error message states that a disk write failed.
You can use the Save As option under the File menu, and the first time you save a file, the save is successful. The error only occurs when saving to an existing file.
CAUSE
This problem is caused by the failure of Services for Macintosh to support the Macintosh API command FpExchangeFiles.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, copy the file to the hard disk on the Macintosh, edit the file and save changes, then copy the updated file back to the SFM volume of the Windows NT Advanced Server computer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1.
