SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to save a document to a SharePoint Portal Server workspace folder using a non-Microsoft Office program (for example, Microsoft Notepad or Microsoft Paint), you may receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This issue can occur if the program you are using does not enable you to save files to Web folders. SharePoint Portal Server workspace folders are Web folders. Although Web folders look like local folders on the hard disk, they are designed to manipulate files on a Web server or SharePoint Portal Server computer; therefore, these files behave differently.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, first save the document to the file system on your local computer or a file server share. After you save the document, you can copy or drag the file to a SharePoint Portal Server folder in My Network Places.
MORE INFORMATION
To save a document to a Web folder, the program must be able to communicate with the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Internet publishing.
