Hi there,
Got a client who we recently upgraded to OS X 10.3.9 and Office 2004
from an OS 9/Office 98 setup.
Their server is running 10.3.6 and has been for several months now.
Some people are having troubles with Office files, Word so far, not
opening wehn double-clicked on from a server volume. In the case of
one machine left with Word 98 and OS 9, Word froze the machine during
the Word splash screen.
When that user tried to open the same file from a new iMac G5 with
Office 2004, the file was renamed with "MCF-" at the start and a
random alphanumeric string before the extension. Without saving
changes, multiple opens result in multiple "MCF-" being added to the
file name.
The file then opens fine, but why is it doing that?
The files are in a shared folder on a 10.3.6 server. It is entirely
possible, but not necessarily the case in all instances, that a file
could be in a path with strange characters (#, spaces, etc).
Don't know that the problem ocurrs or doesn't with local files as they
don't have any. This has only begun since we upgraded the workstations
to OS X as well. Never had it in a pure (9 client world).
Server is 10.3.6, internal drives shared, TCP networking, server
connected at gigabit to a switch, clients at 100TX.
Any ideas?
