cannot write to shared notebook Peter Sanden <psanden[ at ]cityweb.de> 6/29/2007 5:12:42 PM When I open a shared notebook, I am able to read it but no input is accepted. 'New page' is also disabled. I can copy files to the shared folder so I seem to have write access. I then copied the shared notebook to my local computer, renamed it and copied it back again under the new name to its original location. After opening the renamed shared notebook, everything worked fine - I could edit pages, add new pages and so on. I have no idea what's the reason for this behaviour. Has anyone got any idea? Thanks! Peter

Re: cannot write to shared notebook "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" <pdschmid[ at ]nospam.mvps.org> 6/29/2007 10:39:39 PM File permissions. You didn't have write permissions on the folder and files in the shared folder. Permissions stay with files & folder moved on the same volume (same hard drive basically), but don't go with them if you move between volumes. When you moved the items to your computer, they inherited the permissions of the folder you moved them into. When you moved them back, they inherited the permissions of the folder you moved them into. You could achieve the same thing, if you reset inheritance on the original folder, via Properties, Security, Advanced.

RE: cannot write to shared notebook John Guin 6/29/2007 10:42:03 PM What operating system are you using (Vista, XP or Win2K3) and where is the notebook stored (sharepoint, UNC, somewhere else)?
