Office 2003 Read-Only Error Novell File Server

[Ken @ UKY]

I have found the KB article 824424
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;824424>
which sounds exactly like my problem. This is not
exclusive to Word, however--Access & Excel have their
flavors of this read-only issue. I have 3 other folks I
support who are experiencing this. We all run Windows
XP. The article refers to Windows 2000, which is what the
Novell server runs--Netware 5.60.03. Our work arounds
include right-clicking in the directory and selecting New -

Access Project--which it creates no problem, as opposed

to simply File Save/New from the application. Please post
a link to the hot-fix file. ken

Ken:

The issue as outlined in the KB is with the Netware Client software
installed on your machines. To obtain the hotfix, you've got to call or
write MS Product support as outlined in the KB. Use this link to obtain
phone numbers or drop an on line request to PSS; be sure to reference the
KB.

MS won't post a link to the hot fix because as they indicate in the KB it
hasn't been fully regression tested yet and they're making it available only
to customers who need to try the fix immediately.
