Accessing network share documents

[Kalyan]

Hello all,

In my organization, several documents are hosted on IT managed network shares and these file servers reside all around the world.

Whenever I try to open office documents (Project 2003 files take the longest), they take a lot of time to open. And there are some for whom the experience is as if the files were local.

I run windows XP sp2, Office 2003 with all latest updates to both. Tried turning off reading icon information by explorer and all other helpful ideas. But still I have this very nagging problem. I have a few (10-12) shares mapped if it makes any difference.

I turned off sutosave and also asked word to make local copy when opening remote files. Still it didnt make much difference. Any ideas?

regards,
K

I haven't got Office 2003 but on Office 2000 to install MS Ptoto Editor:
Insert the Office CD disc> keep clicking next until you get to Customise>
select it, go to 'Office Tools' and Sselect MS Photo Editor
It may be the same for Office 2003 but I dunno

Photo Editor is not in Office 2003.

Milly,
MS probably thought it wasn't used enough to include it in 2003.
I dunno if it would work if 'PHOTOED.EXE' was copied from 2000 to your HD
Someone with a bit more know how may be able to tell you if it would work.

I know how to install prior version software - and I don't need it. I use a
third party application for my photos.

Photo Editor is completely irrelevant to the original question.

 

[Peter Foldes]

Brilliant answer and you win the prize of answering with irrelevancy. Can you tell us to whom and to what exactly you were answering to. I would love to hear that.

 

[RedChequer]

It was only a suggestion

Kalyan,
I use WindowsXP SP2 with Word 2000.
As Photo Editor works fine with this setup I thought my suggestion may have
been
valid

 

[Kalyan]

focus away.
