Can't open Office 2007 files on a Novell Netwok drive?

[msteine]

When an Office file (doc, ppt, xls etc...) is on a Novell Network Drive and
you try to open it in Office 2007 in returns the error message "Access
Denied. Contact your Administrator". If the file is opened in any other
application (wordpad, Office2003, Open Office) no errors occur.

Did you do what the error message suggested?

It said to contact the Administrator, who is me. There is no issue with
Novell as I mentioned all other applications can open these files it is a
Office 2007 security issue.

msteine,

I have a similar problem that I've posted for help. When in the XP world I
could do anything with Office 2007 files in any format. Since I am the Vista
test dummy I needed to load Novell's beta client.

Since then, same problem, Adobe, .txt, etc. still work correctly so getting
to the network drive isn't a problem. I've read the KB article listed in
your post but am guessing since my problem did not appear until Vista,
permissions are not an issue on Novell's side.

The Vista group sent me over here so hopefully we can both get our answers.

Good Luck,

Just wondering if anyone found any resolution to this problem? There
seems to be more and more post on the net with similar issues but no
solution other than roll back to Office 2003. All the microsoft
experts seem to be consistently silent on this one......
