The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer would like to know if WordPerfect can save a file to a directory that has only Write/Create access rights on a 3Com 3+ network. Solutions: During the file save process, WP creates a 55 byte file header. Then, WP reads the header and writes the rest of the file. WP writes out the file by creating a temporary file, reading the drive and making sure there is not a file that already exists with the same name. The temporary file is renamed to the name given by the user. On the 3Com 3+ network, the Write/Create access rights allow users to write to, create, and delete files and subdirectories in the directory but the user cannot read the files. The Read/Write/Create access rights allow users to read, write to, create, and delete files and subdirectories in the directory. Unless WP is allowed to read the directory, the program cannot create files because of the current file save process.
