When doing the copy operation in Word 2003 .doc file or the Excel 2003 .xls file to our Server 2003 WebDAV website from either Vista environment or Windows 7, I am getting an error message :
When I started copying same file from Windows XP system then it is going fine without any issues .Removing some content from the header of the file moves around the issue . Saving the file with the .docx operated around the issue.Quote:
Copy File: Cannot read from the source file or disk
I have discussed the same problem with my friends and found some additional information. in case, if the .doc and .xls files are copied with the help of command line terminal , the files just got copied well . They only assumes to get failed if someone is working in the Explorer or Microsoft Office to perform the copying and save the files into the WebDAV directory. Give it a try ..
I also got bit more information regarding the same . If someone stores a .doc or .xls file within a zip file, uploads the same onto the webdav server and then unzip which file the webdav share that also be feasible . So, the tally is:
- Save with the explorer - got failed
- Save with the word/excel- fails
- Unzip from the application with the help of Explorer zip support - works
- Copy with command-line utility - works
Actually, i don;t have any wide information about this, but have some rough information ... I don;t know, it can be helpful for you or not but according to me Excel and Word would not save to the network. I have fixed my issues by deleting KB980232,this was loaded some time previous weeks. I hope, it can be helpful for you ...
I build an alternative which finish the downloading of the file with the absolute content-type but when the user going to upload the file, he is not sure about the place to locate that ! I require to download/Change/Save a office file without the user interaction. Have you an y idea about the procedure to do that ? What about WebDav.Net, is this is software of IndependentSoft. Can this resolve my issue in this situation ?
