Description abraaocefas 2007-02-12 14:05:05 UTC 
Hello,

I'm running Open Office 2.0.3. When I open an existing file, modify it and save 
for the first time, there is no problem. However, when I modify it for the 
second time and try to save it, I receive an General Input/Output error and the 
file is not saved.

This problem occurs only on an attempt to save in a network hard drive. On a 
local hard drive, all works fine. The network is running Novell Client 4, and 
workstations run Windows 2000 Professional.

Thanks.

abraaocefas,
for starters I strongly suggest upgrading at least to version 2.1, as it
contains a number of improvements over 2.0.3. 
If 2.1 produces the same error I suggest trying version 2.2 (release candidate
is expected this or next week, and if you feel brave enough you can try latest
developer build from http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html).
Comment 2 abraaocefas 2007-02-13 20:04:09 UTC 
I've installed the latest version of Open Office, but the problem remains. I 
was searching the web for a situation like this, but nothing for now.

Thanks for the clue, anyway.

abraaocefas,
let's see if somebody with Novell network can repro the problem.

I assume that saving to Windows file-server works fine for you, right?

I have this same problem.  I am running Open Office 2.2 on Windows XP
Professional.  When I open a new file (in any OO program, Writer, Base, Calc,
etc.) and try to save it on a network hard drive, I get the following error:

Error saving the document Untitled1:
\\Home_w\users\USERS\Maren\something.odt does not exist.

I then click OK and get:

Error saving the document Untitled1:
General Error.
General input/output error.

I click OK again and save it as another extension (like .doc or .xls), and it
works fine.  I can also save it on the C: drive just fine.
