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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is running WordPerfect 5.1 from a non-dedicated file server on the CBIS network version 7.20C. When they create a file and save it to G:\WP51\DOCS\ACCOUNT.WPD, everything works fine. However, when the customer retrieves the file, adds to it, and tries to resave the file, they get the error message "Invalid Drive/Path Specification." It will happen if they try to save to a diskette or network drive. Solutions: The 7.20C version of CBIS network introduced a new flavor of file locking. This file lock was not working correctly. This file locking is started by including the /NOV on the line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file where the server is started, i.e., NWSTART /NOV. A temporary solution is to remove the /NOV switch. The customer should contact CBIS to obtain their patch for this problem.
