Word 2003: Opening files on a network drive look like a URL
Hi All,
When I'm in Word 2003, and I go to open a word document on a file server, it looks like it's opening the doc from a URL... it's hard to explain without going through everything, here's the setup: The file server is a Samba share, the file server also runs an apache web server on it. \\fileserver\share is mapped to my R: Drive. The path is at R:\documents\document.doc (i.e. \\fileserver\share\documents\document.doc) When I go to open the file in word, I just go to File - Open, pick my R drive, navigate to the documents folder and doubleclick on document.doc. I get an opening dialog box that says it's opening http://fileserver/share/documents/document.doc odd... why the URL?... well, what resolves is the home page that loads off my web server, in word. What's going on? If I copy the file off of that server and onto my desktop it opens fine. I open and save files all the time in all sorts of other applications off of that server, and Office 2000 never had this problem. I'd appreciate any help you could offer. Many thanks, Aaron |
