Ever since I was set up on a Windows XP Profession x64 machine AND, at the
same time, was set up with a VPN, if I select a folder when opening or saving
a file, that folder refuses to become the working folder as it's supposed to.
Whenever I go to open a new document or Save a document As something, I
always find myself back in my original/default working directory ("My
Documents").
I am wondering if maybe something is mis-set on my VPN or or if, because I
am set to work OFFLINE (i.e., locally) throughout the day and only
synchronize at 2 am: perhaps Office becomes confused and can't figure out
what is going on . . . ?
I have noticed that when or if I click through to a certain subdirectory . .
.. say, My Documents > Business > Catalog > 2006 and then realize, "Oh, shoot!
No! I didn’t want 2006, I want 2005!" and I then click on the "Up One Level"
icon (file folder with green arrow pointing upward), I get the message, "You
do not have access to the folder '\\server\users\username\My
Documents\Business\Catalog'. See your administrator for access to this
folder."
But, of course, I *do* have access to that folder. I "merely" need to click
on "Catalog" in the "Look in" field of the Open dialog box and I get to My
Documents > Business > Catalog from which I can then click through to the
subdirectory 2005.
If Office can't consistently figure out what my access rights are, maybe it
just "gives up" and, therefore, sends me back down to "My Documents" or, as
it has started doing again, "Desktop"????
HELP!!!!
Thanks!
