OneNote SP1 Preview - Cannot use offline folders

OneNote SP1 preview
Win2000 Pro (FAT32) + SP4

If the OneNote .one files are located on shared network
drive and the folders are marked for offline use OneNote
will fail to open the .one files when disconnected from
the Network.

Something is amiss here - I and in fact most of the OneNote team run with our notes stored on a machine in our office and then "made available offline" to our portable/notebook/tablet

You've just got some .one files on a server that's been made available offline (and synchronized) and now while you're offline OneNote won't open them

Can you (also while offline) open the folder that contains those .one files in explorer and see the files

I have tried using OneNote in a number of ways to
investigate this further. Initially my complete OneNote
Notebook was on a network drive marked for
synchronisation. Most of the the time the Laptop was
undocked OneNote would fail to open the .one files. I
could see the files in Explorer and if I copied them to
the local hard drive then one note would open them OK. I
then changed my Notebook folder to my hard drive and
created links to my network drive notebooks. This seemed a
bit more reliable although I would get repeated crahses
when working with a new section within the synchronised
notebook folder. On one occasion a section with 10 pages
and 20 sub pages got smashed up into some 40 seperate
pages. It took me ages to patch it all back together again
(with numerious further crashes in the process). Currently
to work offline I copy by hand the .one files to a local
notebook folder and then have to remember to move them
back again when the PC is redocked.
