icon v1.6 Build 26 Bug Report--Network Exports (0)  
I cannot export to any network drives from DROD, even if they are mapped to a drive letter. It SAYS it was a success, but the file does not exist. I've tried saving to the L: (my wife's C:) and Z: (my wife's A:), but it does not work. It SAYS it was a success, but in reality the file does not exist.

NOTE: This may have something to do with the extension being .hold--any way it can be switched to be EITHER .hold or .hld for those of us who (for some strange reason only Microsoft can explain) save a file over the network, but the network requires it is not a long filename? (The drives both support long filenames, but network saves for some crazy reason cannot be a long filename under some home networks, including ours.) I don't know if this is the entire problem, but I have no way to test it until capability for either .hold or .hld files is added. This would probably be relatively simple, but allows more compatability and more options.

Thanks,

Sam

Works for me saving to a Linux box via Samba.

Also saving to another windows box (both 2000).

Worked for me on a WinXP machine with a drive mapped to a share on another WinXP machine.

Heck, it even worked using the \\\\ip_address\\d$ type of address.

Mine is saving Win98 SE to XP. I think the problem may now be that Win98 SE only wants to save short filenames over the network for some reason (at least in this case). I guess now this would better fit under "Features", but can we have the extension be .hold OR .hld as a short filename option?

Thanks,

Sam
