1. Re: ODD new issue opening files from another network machine
Tai Lao Jan 17, 2012 6:12 PM (in response to ChriS_GFX)This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost. -

ChriS_GFX Jan 17, 2012 6:19 PM (in response to Tai Lao)thanks, never saw that--pretty bizarre that things changed all of a sudden-- it's just me & 2 machines in my home office, no server or anything & everything worked great. It was really convenient to open directly from the other machine & print!

Noel Carboni Jan 17, 2012 6:22 PM (in response to ChriS_GFX)Have to ask a very basic question... Have you rebooted the machines?

ChriS_GFX Jan 17, 2012 6:45 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)yep, both of them...aside from that, the first thing I did was to delete the prefs file, as sometimes corrects wacky behavior...still nothing
