cannot save to a Netware volume in Publisher 2002

[Rod B.]

I have encountered a problem when trying to save a document in Publisher 2002 to a Novell Netware drive. If the folder name is longer than 8 characters, Publisher will report an error, "Invalid file name".
The file can be saved to local drive. If the network folder name is shorter than 9 characters, there is no problem. This problem does not exist for word 2002 or excel 2002 when saving to the netware volume.
The version of netware is 4.11 sp9 and long file names has been enabled on all the volumes. Several netware clients have been used with no success. As the problem is not with Word/Excel, it seems the problem is directly related to Publisher.
has anybody seen this problem?
many thx
Rod B.

Publisher is not a network friendly application.
Saving or using a Publisher document from a network server will guarantee
file corruption or the inability to save a document.

Publisher files must be used and saved on the local hard drive only.

After further investigation, this is a known issue with Microsoft Publisher
2002. This was/should be fixed in Publisher 2003. There was a global cloud
storage feature that Office XP used and Publisher 2002 did not.

Brian, if you don't mind, keep your 'global clouds' to yourself in the US.

We have no desire for your pollution and other airborne garbage to be sent
to paradise.

The next thing you will be wanting to send Bonsai Bush here again with all
his disgusting waste and environmental vandalism. Bush is a raving idiot.

Bush arrived here with I think 7 x 747 jets, 42 cars, 620 staff, brings his
dogs which are against the laws of the quarantine of the country and of
course the rude ignorant pig Bush ignores our laws, brings his own cutlery
because the psychotic Bush will not eat using anybody else's cutlery.

Bonsai Bush makes you Americans look so bad when he is out of the US. For
the sake of America, keep that mongrel sick dog Bush within the confines of
the US borders.

Bonsai Bush is well and truly sunk next election with Iraq. Iraq is Vietnam
MkII and will probably go on longer, and Bush is stuck with it all by
himself and America.
