Powerpoint not opening files on network home folder

H

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I'm having troubles with my Powerpoint 2008 (v12.1.5). When I try to open files located somewhere on my network home folder (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.) it gives me the following error:

"Powerpoint cannot open the type of file represented by <File_Path>".

Of course, the document does not open. However, if I copy the files on a local volume, it opens without a hitch.

Anyone has an idea why Powerpoint has problems with files on a network home folder ? Any idea on how to solve the problem ?

BTW, I've checked the file permissions as well as the application's permissions and everything is OK.

Thanks

Hey there,

I have exactly the same issue here. Did you ever manage to get a resolution
to this problem?

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? All the basic bit and pieces have
been checked already, like permissions, software updates and preference file
clearances.
