RE: Can't save anywhere except on "c drive" with V5.

Try the menu selections tools/options and under general select the document tab. Look for document environment and select folder. select the "Current" button which should now be clickable and ok the dialog.

When you now select save file you should be presented with the (windows?) save dialog box.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply,

Actually, I do get the "windows" dialog box with "save as" command, the problem is if I target anywere except on c: "my document" I get a message that I dont have the rights.

RE: Can't save anywhere except on "c drive" with V5.

If you log in to the box as administrator do you have the same problem?

Hi KooKoo,

yes, even if someone log as a Administrator om my station it's the same problem. Our two V5 station in the departement have the same problem.

Other V5 stations in our company dont have this problem?!?!?!?!?!?!?

BTW: v5 r12 and it was the same problem with r10 and r11

RE: Can't save anywhere except on "c drive" with V5.

make sure the other drives are not read only.

Have you tried reloading the workstation?  I mean completely - Windows included.  Sounds like something is messed up in the registry, and you can probably spend more time fighting it than it would take to reload.

Are you using Novell?  We had this problem and needed to get a patch from them
