I have the same problem to. The difference is that I have an IBM model 33sx
running with PCNFS and WINDOWS. My EXcel for Windows just wouldn't run
on network drive and have been giving me "Unrecoverable Appl.. Error".
I ended up putting EXCEL.EXE on the hard drive and it runs fine. WHY?????
My winword have no problem running from the network drive at all. Any
suggestion?
