Office requires Admin user??

[iashihara]

I noticed that if I setup a user in OS-X as either "Network Home
Folder" or a "Standard Local" user I get "File is opened in another
location" error all the time. Especially when trying to save a file.
Even to the local disk.

The ONLY solution I have found so far is to have the users setup as "Admin"

Im sure everyone understand that this is not an acceptable solution

Is this a bug? Something im doing wrong?
I can duplicate it over multiple computers, networked or stand alone.

Thanks,
Ichiro

I don't know anything about Network Home Folder or Standard Local. Perhaps
these became options in an OS update or something, after I already had users
set up?

The bottom line for me is this: I have 4 users on my computer. Root, me
(admin) and two other ones (regular users). I had to install Office 2004
from within an Admin account (me) and all the regular users have access to
Office 2004 when they are logged in.

Sounds similar to my setup. 1st I thought it was just a fluke but tried
it on another computer (with a clean install of 10.3) and still had the
same issues.
Once I made the user "admin" to the computer everything works just fine.

Weird.
