You Cannot Save a Document That You Opened from the Shadow Folder Directly Back to the Workspace

This article was previously published under Q308696

SYMPTOMS

When you open a document in the shadow folder, you may not be able to save the document directly back to the workspace. A Microsoft Office dialog box that prompts you to save the file may be displayed repeatedly.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if you are using either Microsoft Office XP or Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1 (SR1). Office 2000 allows you to open a document in the browser, and then edit and save changes; however, this feature is not included in Office 2000 SR1 and Office XP.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, download the document first, and then upload the document after you make changes.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
