FM files unaccessible on file server
Hello, we have intermittent problems with access to FM files stored on a central file server (running Windows 2003 Server). When trying to open a document, users get a FrameMaker popup like this: You do not have read access to \\server\path\to\file.fm. Investigating directly on the server, I found that in the Computer Management console, System Tools, Shared Folders, Open Files, one of the listed files is of the form \\server\path\to\file.fm.8AD (note the file extension which seems to indicate a temporary file?), where the "Open Mode" is "no access". This particular file is not shown in the Windows Explorer. I have asked our IT department for help, but I wonder if people on this list may have had similar problems and can advise.? Usually, when IT finally looks at the problem, the file has become accessible again ... We're currently using FrameMaker 8. Thanks for any and all help. cheers, Jakob.

Does FM9 support Windows 7? If not, will an upgraded version of FM support Windows 7? Will there be any new features? Thanks, HK Howard Kalish Manager, Technical Documentation Products Group T 512.602.5699 C 512.299.2734
Remote Desktop and FrameMaker
Hi-- Does anyone know if FrameMaker works with Remote Desktop? I have this set up and I find that several files I work with blow up. I do not have this problem on other configurations, that is, not using Remote Desktop. I am on FrameMaker 7.2. Any help is appreciated!
