Word is opening a previous document by the same name!
I have a co-worker who is opening documents from another program. The
documents in the program are using the the following format name##. The name is always the same, but the numbers are reused at a certain point. What is hapening is when the numbers are reused her maching is opening the document that last used that number instead of opening the latest. This dosen not happen if there is a document has a longer name or different name than what was used before. We can not change the file name format the document comes in. I need help to figure out where this is coming from. It only happens on her machine. HELP! Thanks, Ben |

Hi ?B?QmVu?=,
I have a co-worker who is opening documents from another program. The documents in the program are using the the following format name##. The name is always the same, but the numbers are reused at a certain point. What is hapening is when the numbers are reused her maching is opening the document that last used that number instead of opening the latest. This dosen not happen if there is a document has a longer name or different name than what was used before. We can not change the file name format the document comes in. I need help to figure out where this is coming from. It only happens on her machine. Are the documents being opened from a network location? Are you sure she's going to that location to open the documents, and not to some place (such as the TEMP folder) on her local machine? What command set is she using to open the files? Version of Word?

The files are attached at a network location through another program. After
this was posted yesterday, the computer was somehow pulling from the temp directory instead of the real file from the network. We deleted the temp files from her local machine. Is there a way to keep this from happening in the future? "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?QmVu?=, I have a co-worker who is opening documents from another program.

Hi ?B?QmVu?=,
The files are attached at a network location through another program. After this was posted yesterday, the computer was somehow pulling from the temp directory instead of the real file from the network. We deleted the temp files from her local machine. Is there a way to keep this from happening in the future? You still haven't mentioned the version of Word involved, which means I haven't anything to go on. Better place to ask this, in any case, would be the word.setup.networking group. Be sure to include that information! news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tup.networking Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
