10.4: Avoid an Office 2004 save problem
Authored by: bdog on Dec 01, '05 05:13:05PM

Thanks for the refresher! I couldn't solve this and I forgot a while ago that we had fixed it with Office 2001 and the "Temporary Items" folder. I will reply to confirm this fixes our problems.

Why doesn't Office just use "/private/tmp/" or "/private/var/tmp/" ??? It would be local, hence much faster for the user and it would be less disk access on the server! Poor server has to put up with Office's swarm of temp files...

10.4: Avoid an Office 2004 save problem

It is confirmed that this solved all our issues. Our clients would usually crash though (and not just the app, the ENTIRE system would crash) instead of getting an error.
