. From: hendrik@wn2.sci.kun.nl (Kees van Eekelen) Path: wn2!hendrik has anyone ever met the following problem: when double-clicking a MS-Word Document on a Macserve volume, it starts up the application all right (which is on the same volume). If one tries, after quitting the application, to double-click the document symbol again, you get an error message that the applcation is busy or not found. IF ONE MOVES the application symbol slightly on the desktop, double-clicking the document brings Word to life again, as if the Desktop File has to be updated every time in order to enable launching Word from a document. I surmise the problem is very specific for Word 3.01 in combination with Macserve 1.2 (the latest, but ancient enough), AND system 6.01. Under system 4.3 everything worked just fine. Can someone offer a clue on what's going wrong, or better still: what we can do about it?
