Err.Number 5232, Err.Description = Word did not save the document.

am 13.04.2006 14:05:24 von Gemma M

Hi all,

I have a Web site, on the server side, a Word compatible document is
created. On the client side, an instance of Word opens this document,
applies some headers and footers, and attempts a Save-As. However, I get
the above error on the following call :
Call doc.SaveAs(docName, 0, , , False)

The Internet Guest account has read/write/modify permissions on the
directory into which the file is being saved. The directory is a
sub-directory of the virtual directory of the Web site.

I have uninstall and re-install IIS (this fixed a similar problem earlier in
the year).

I'm starting to pull out my hair.

System is XP Pro, IIS 5, Word 2003.

Please help me.

The IIS logging fragment for the Word save-as operation that failed is as
follows :

12:29:54 127.0.0.1 LOCK /SiteDir/Subdir/file_name.doc 403
12:29:54 127.0.0.1 PUT /SiteDir/Subdir/file_name.doc 403

The trailing 403 is the Protocol Status (sc-status), aka, HTTP Status, means
"Access to this document is forbidden". But no clues are given to suggest
why it is forbidden.

Ideas needed....

As you were, everyone. I think I've solved it.

In IIS, on the directory wherein Word is to save its files, I set the
directory permissions to include "write".

Now, this may seem obvious. But on other machines running the same
software, this permission is not set.

So, it's solved, but with a nasty, suspicious smell about it.
