Hi All,
Under what condition clipboard files won’t get
created??
I have written a filesystem similar to NTFSD, this
Filesystem runs on Win NT and 2000. we are having a
problem while trying to edit and save a WORD file on
this device. This device is exposed as a drive letter
say,Y,This Y: behaves just like any other drive on the
sytem. I am trying to access a Word file on this
Y:from a NT workstation by mapping as a shared drive.
All administrator privileges are provided at the
client (NT workstation) and at the server (2000) end.
when I try to access an existing file, edit and save,
the save fails. The error message: “Word cannot
complete the save due to a file permission error”.
When we checked the logs of normal and our case…we
found something fishy…In normal case while editing a
word file,clipboard file is created and some
operations(wirring it to clipboard from original file)
are done on clipboard file…But in bug case the
clipboard file is not getting created itself??
why is this?? I want to know why clipboard file is not
getting created in our case

Word has the peculiar habit of NOT modifying a file when you edit it.
Instead it creates a new file, writes the contents of the old
file and it’s changes into this new file, deletes the old file, then renames
the new file. It’s behavior that’s been driving file
system developers nuts for years.
You need not just Modify permissions on the file, you also need create
permissions in the directory.
Oh, by the way, the ACL on this file (should your file system implement
ACLs) will be destroyed because Word does NOT copy the ACL,
but instead lets it inherit from the parent directory when the new file is
created. It’s neat neat how editing a file changes the
owner of that file, isn’t it?
