Re: Tiger upgrade causes Office 2004 problems

Last week we upgraded to tiger server 10.4.2 from 10.3.9 and we performed the same on our workstations. They are being managed by open directory on the group and computer level. I'm having some problems with Office 2004 that are not present in their knowledge base and did not occur in my test environment. What's happening is as students close microsoft word they are getting a pop up box saying Word cannot complete the operation because too many files are open. (AutoRecovery save of Normal)

My first attempt at fixing it was disabling autosave and checking to see if normal.dot had changed but it didn't appear that it had. Anyone else experienced this?


This seems to be a manifestation of something we have seen here that is also apparently 'solved' according to the various 'knowledge base' reports on the subject.


We get this error with 10.3.x clients to our AFP-mounted Unix servers when users try and save *any* open file for a second time. At the time, the only solution is to 'Save As..' an RTF file instead of native Word format, or cut and paste the content of the document in to a new one.

The only long-term solution we have adopted is to use SMB to mount the volumes instead.
