Hello,
I have two computers now experiencing this problem, when I try to save a CDR I get an error message saying "Disk cannot be accessed" when saving to a network drive. I can save to the local drive without a problem and I can also save it has any other file or as a PDF to the network drive with no problems. One computer just recieved the SP3 Corel upgrade when this problem started. Any ideas on to fix this?
Thanks,
Jonathan
There was a Hot Fix patch put out just after the Service Pack 3.
If you go to Corel's web site and click on Support and navigate your way to the X5 updates, you will find the Hot Fix.
Hugh,
Thanks for the tip although after installing the hot fix still running into the same problem :(
There is an ongoing hiccup with CGS documents being written to network drives. I don't know what the problem is, and it occurs in a hit-and-miss fashion of those that experience this on their systems, that the problem is difficult to track down.
My personal thoughts on this is how the Microsoft Windows server software treats file-write handshaking, but I have not gotten into the analysis and debugging of this problem, as I have never run across it. I do not use Microsoft for server Operating Systems, here.
A work around is simple, but requires a few extra mouse clicks. Simply copy the network document to your local drive, and when you are finished creating/editing the document, save it on your local drive and then copy from local drive to the network drive.
Thank Hugh. This is interesting because we use a Synology NAS drive and all of our system are mostly identical. I also tried to save the file to a Windows network share drive but and have tried the full path rather then network drive path.
I will work on it a little more and see if I can find any reason for it. In my initial testing I discovered if I was logged in as administrator on the local machine and ran the program as administrator I could save.
You might want to compare the exact permissions to the folder, as seen by the administrator and the real user.
It is not sufficient to have write permission -- the user also needs to be able to delete the previous backup, rename the previous file as backup and possibly list the folder too, to know whether a previous version of the file or its backup exist.
