SBA: Changed: - Prio from P1 to P3 because the Office keeps up and running and there is a workaround available. - Component from "UI" to "Framework" - Subcomponent from "UI" to "Code" - Reassigned to Thorsten SBA: Changed Summary from "Network file access" to "Network file access fails (MS Office docs resident on NT4 server)" to summarize the findings. I will check this together with JSK. Target is set to OO later due to the fact that OOo can open the files via it´s own file-open dialog. This looks like some kind of system-integration problem with NT4 servers. *** Issue 20299 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 26653 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** Hi, Have the same problem but on a Linux server (Redhat) accessed via Windows XP. Can only open files from inside OO; double-clicking and right-click -> open doesn't work. Please check problem with a more recent build like OOo 1.2RC3. There has been a problem while trying to access files on non mapped devices (like opening files via network neighbourhood). Otherwise map a device constantly with a drive letter and open files from this device that should work. Problem has already been fixed. Hi! I do have the same problem in my office. (I tried to migrate our whole office, 35 WS, to OO but failed at this point) This problem occurs in all OO Versions - up to 1.1.4 and even the new 2.0 beta. Not only ms-docs are affectet - all documents are affectet. Using double-click on document at mapped network-drive works fine. Using double-click on document at \\unc\path doesnt work Server is NT 4.0, on all Workstations XP, 2000, NT4WS the double click doesnt work on unc. For office-Users and migrating admins the problem is more than p3. I suggest an update to p2. Perhaps Issue 51346 have something relating to do with this problem, too? related to issue 51026? *** Issue 51342 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** For what it's worth, I'll repost my comment from 51342: Functionality of double clicking on a file in \\unc\path works fine when the server is a Samba server (3.0.20b). However, after some playing around, I later copied the exact same file to another server on our network (which I believe is a Windows NT server of some flavor) and experienced the problem described (OOo fails to open). Which is to say, it seems to be specifically related to Windows servers only; Samba servers do not trigger this bug. . . |
