Hello,
When I use Windows Explorer to go to a shared directory using a UNC name (such as \\myserver\mydirectory for example), I can see my OO Writer files but they won't open when I double-click on them (it only works with a local directory or mapped drive such a Z:\my drive).
There is a similar post on this forum dated in 2008 that seems to indicate that it got fixed in version 3.1 :
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4870
I downloaded the latest version of OO (4.1.5). My tests are being performed on a Windows 2008 R2 server. Is there anything that I can do to make it work?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Phil
