Re: Various File Save error messages with Word 2004 and Tiger (10.4.2) Server

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Jim,

John probably won't be around till the weekend so I took the liberty of
passing this "up the line". I got back the following two
comments/suggestions:

1. Does using WebDAV to mount the share instead of SMB or AFP function as a
workaround to this problem?

2. Not that I've heard, but its worth a shot. However, from looking at the
thread below, it looks like they disabled NAV autoprotect on the
clients. It needs to be disabled on the server too (to the best of my
knowledge) for the workaround to work.

Please let us know if anything here helps.
