I tried changing .TemporaryItems to 777 and it didn't fix the problem. There is no /tmp folder on the volume holding the home directories, but only on the boot volume. Does anyone else actually have a /tmp folder on a volume holding homes that's NOT the boot volume?

I also tried changing the autosave and document location settings in Word (as a couple other people mentioned doing) and that didn't work either. The old delete Registration Cache fix for previous versions didn't work.

Right now, I have a world-write folder available on the image and users have to save to that, then drag their files back to their home documents when done. Painful and ugly.

I'd love to know exactly what was changed...

Better not upgrade to tiger then! From my testing it would seem that
if you are running from an SMB mounted network home then office will
not save anything onto your home share - it gives an error about the
disk being full. YOu can save to other places (even other smb
volumes) fine but infuriatingly not into your own home folder.

If anyone has Office 2004 and Tiger and SMB network homes working,
I'd love to hear about it.

It's due to a couple things, one of them being Apple changing some things
with regard to network homes. The trick is to see what the permissions are
on the temp or tmp directory on the drive that contains the network homes.
It basically needs to be 777.
