Buffalo Network hard drive
About 6 weeks ago we moved our corporate data from a pc's hard drive to a
buffalo network hard drive (NHD). Everything seemed to be working ok. Today I found out that linked documents into another document does not work. We normally link a heading into all our form documents. In the past we could change the heading & the changes would show up in the form document when word brought up the form document. But no more :-). I also found out that making a file read only no longer works when the file is on the NHD. I can set the property read only but when I bring it up again the read only is gone. Anyone got an idea or where to start? TIA -- _________ MMAP HQ |

You appear to have 2 issues here
1. The linking - which is probably simply attrutable to the fact that the links are still looking to the old hard drive location. You will have to change the links to the new location. 2. This is a file permissions issue and nothing to do with Word. I would suggest that you ask in a forum for your operating system/network. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org MMAP HQ wrote: About 6 weeks ago we moved our corporate data from a pc's hard drive to a buffalo network hard drive (NHD).

Buffalo Network hard drive
The Buffalo devices have very poor support for file-level or
folder-level permissions. I wouldn't be surprised if you simply CAN'T set an individual file as Read-Only. In the past in order to give our clients Read-Only folders on a Buffalo device we had to set up a totally separate share on the Buffalo and assign the proper read-write/read-only permissions to that separate share. And yes, it's a hassle. And yes, we probably won't be deploying any more Buffalo devices, even though we otherwise really like them, for our business clients simply because their file/folder-level security support is so poor. -- -Ben- Ben M.
