Hi Angus,
I haven't looked at it before, but I could imagine that with the crash it
saves something in the users profile that triggers to look at the
autorecovery file after restart. but if what you writes is true, it is
server based.....what kind of profiles you use?
Have you taken a closer look with Regmon or similair tools to see what it
does, when it restarts??
I don't think you should asume that just the presence of the autorecovery
file on the W: disk would trigger it....If they weren't deleted correctly
they would pop-up every time you start word...there must be another trigger.
I'll check later on.....I have to do some work tonight anyway.
If I find something intresting i let you know
greetz
Rob

Onderwerp: [THIN] Word 2003 autorecovery on Citrix
We have uncovered a little snag with Word 2003 on PS3. We have autorecovery
setup in Word, saving to a network drive (W:). Autosave files are saved in
W: perfectly. If I terminate winword.exe on a server and restart it,
autorecovery works just fine. However, if I run Word on another server, Word
doesn't notice the autorecovery files, even though they are in the same
folder (W:). Similarly, if I start a new session on the original server, the
autorecovery files are again ignored. The .asd recovery files may be opened
manually but asking my users to deviate from years of practice opens up a
world of pain.
So presumably there is more to autorecovery than just the presence of
autorecovery files in the expected location. Does anyone know what that
might be?
Angus
