Office products crash when going couple layers deep in network

R

Ryan

Hello.. Regardless of what office product im using, excel, word, outlook..
whenever I go to open a file, or add an attatchment.. from a network resource
that is 4 or 5 layers deep for instance
\\sscowheaton\RFQ\2004\engineering\blah\blah\blah\blahfile.XXX the entire
application will just hang, and hang to the point where I cannot even hit
cancel to stop trying to access that file, resulting in me having to
forcefully close the program, thus losing all data.. and although since ive
learned of this error i generally save before I try to access network data,
saving an email before you put an attatchment on is quite tedious and takes
quite a bit of spcae (saving to both sent mail and drafts). If anyone has any
experience with this or has heard of a solution, please let me know! Thanks
alot!

Right-click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop,
left-click on Disconnect Network Drive, and disconnect any mapped
drives that are not currently available.
