WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A customer running the network version of WordPerfect received the error "Access Denied" when defining a macro (e.g., LABELS.WPM). The path in Location of Files for Keyboard/Macro Files was to a local drive. The customer did not have a macro under that name in their directory. They did, however, have a macro under the same name in the master WP51 directory. The program was looking to the master directory before reading the path in Location of Files. Since a macro under the same name could be found in the master directory the program looked to it when trying to create a new macro. The user did not have sufficient rights to edit/create the macro in the master directory thus causing the "Access Denied" error. The program will read the path in Setup when invoking a macro and the error won't appear. When editing or creating macros and "Access Denied" appears, suggest the user included the full path to the desired macros directory. Another user received this error when creating a macro because the network administrator had flagged the macro files in the WP51 directory as read only files. When the administrator made the files read-write, the user was able to create a macro with the same name on the local hard drive. The program is working as designed.
