1969.0. "V2.7 - Cannot save Word - Dos file cannot be opened" by SIOG::CAVERLY () Fri Jan 31 1997 09:57

    Hi,
    
    	I have V2.7 internal loaded. When I try to save a Word doc I get
    the following:
    
    	"Dos File cannot be opened
    	The Dos file name is invalid, does not exist or access to the file
    	is not permitted, or the file is in use(locked) by other applications."
    
    	The save for Excel works  fine..
    
    Regards
    Ciaran

If by 2.7 Internal you mean something besides the SSB version (or now 
ECO1)you need to upgrade. What version of Word are you using? What flavor 
of Windows? Is the app integration installed?

As of 3/13/97 an update to note 1969.0

We here at the Atlanta CSC are still experiencing this problem.
When attempting to save a WORD 7 document with it integrated on
a Windows 95 system with Teamlinks v2.7-1, we still get the error:
"Dos File cannot be opened
The Dos file name is invalid, does not exist or access to the file
is not permitted, or the file is in use (locked) by other applications."

We have reinstalled Word and Teamlinks, but still get error.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
CHFarmer

1969.5Need to talk to you.TAMARA::tubgun.zko.dec.com::manana::poonMon Mar 17 1997 11:497
Hi,

I have not seen this problem before.  To get this resolve sooner,
can you post a DTN so I can call you to debug the problem?

1969.7Give me a call.TAMARA::tubgun.zko.dec.com::manana::poonMon Mar 24 1997 18:2013
Reply to CSC,

I tried the TLWW*.* files that you copies into the [decnet] account,but
they all worked for me.  This could mean that there is something on
that particular system which is causing the error.

Get me a call and we can go through a debug session to try and narrow
down the cause of the problem.

1969.8Explorer setting was the problemOASS::ANDRES_BFri Mar 28 1997 13:4710
    Al and I worked on this problem this morning on my problem PC.
    When saving a file from Word with TeamLinks integrated I was
    getting the Invalid Dos file name error.
    
    In setting that was causing the error was in Explorer.  From 
    Windows Explorer select View Options.  The option Hide MS-DOS
    file extensions for file types that are registered was selected.
    Once this was deselected the error no longer occurred.

1969.92nd time this bug has happened.XANADU::cascobay.zko.dec.com::TAMARA::STJEANBob St.JeanTue Apr 01 1997 22:2216
This is a bug in Word 95 that really stumped Tom Quigley while
he was porting the TL integration.  He said he reported it to
MS, and apparently they still have not fixed it.

Al was going to look to see if the TL integration can somehow
work around this bug.

Beth, maybe you should enter a PTR so it doesn't get forgotten.

If this isn't fixed, then it should at least be documented in
the release notes for the TL app integrations (TL_INT.TXT).  Maybe
Al or one of the documentation people can make a note to update
the file with this info.
