You'll have to describe your setup and problem in more detail, and what
you already tried to fix it, otherwise we can't really help you.

Re: problems sharing onenote notebooks

Hi. Sorry about that. I have a WLAN at a medical office with my tablet pc
(me) and a desktop (my secretary) which is acting as a server. She has XP Pro
and I have XP Tablet Edition and we are using OneNote 2007. I am trying to
share onenote notebooks which we have set up as patient charts. My secretary
creates the "charts" and I try to access the ones she has created and enter
the medical information, etc. Although the network is working, and I can see
her onenote notebook folder on the desktop, I cannot open it on my tablet. I
get 2 types of error messages : either "there are no open sections in tis
notebook" even though there are; and when I try to open individual sections
in the notebook, it tells me I "do not have permission" to do so. I have made
the onenote notebook folder a shared folder on both our PCs. Like I said the
2 PCs can see the folders, I just can't open them and modify them. I tried
adjusting the sharing and security settings and making everyone able to share
and edit the folders, but it made no differences. I have booted and rebooted
a million times, to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks again.

Thanks Patrick. I will try that and get back to you. I don't know if this
helps at all, but I can open the onenote folders that are pre-installed (like
Classes, Projects, etc), but not the new ones I have created. Does that make
sense?

Re: problems sharing onenote notebooks
ali 6/24/2007 3:40:01 PM
You're right for XP Pro, but for XP home, you cannot switch off simple file
sharing and you don't get the option for sharing & security tabs. You can
only do it via safe mode. Well, I tried your suggestion and saw that by
default the inheritance option is on, but when I look at the individual
notebook folders they are all set at "do not share". What's weird is I can
open some of the pre-installed folders that are set as "do not share", but
not the new ones I have created. Very confusing. I appreciate your help
Patrick. Any other options?

You're right. It is a pain. I will try your suggestions in the office on
Monday on the XP Pro desktop. Hopefully it will work.

Thanks a million Patrick.

Re: problems sharing onenote notebooks
ali 6/27/2007 2:52:01 AM
Hello again Patrick. I tried all of the security settings on the office
computer. For a minute it worked and all of the ones I had tried to set up
over the weekend were visible and accessible. Then I tried to make a couple
more new ones and then I had the same old problem. I don't know what made
those ones work and not the new ones. There were no other settings I could
have changed. Maybe it's not a permission/sharing issue at all. Even folders
which were designated as do not share were accessible. Hmmmmmmm. What other
options are there?
