Publisher closes document on NAS after network interruption - no safe-as option

[Wolf-z]

Hi,

I usually work on Publisher (v2.04 and 2.1) documents from different locations in the building (laptop & wifi), all documents are stored on a network drive. Wifi access to this drive can get interrupted or I'll take the laptop to a different location without closing the document. Even if access gets restored Publisher will show a dialog box, saying it needs to close the document, without a save-as option for local storage. For other applications we use (LiberOffice, Microsoft office) a network interruption is transparent, which means after being restored operation continues as before.

This happens for:

Publisher 2.04 and 2.1
under Win11 and Win10
occurs every time wifi gets interrupted

thanks - Wolf

Hi @Wolf-z,

We are aware of a few issues when working directly from Network drives and do have this logged for further investigation by the Dev team to resolve.  This is also why we don't recommend working directly from network drives at this stage.

I'll leave a link on that report back to this thread, so we can keep you updated on this issue.
