XCLN: Posted Word for Windows Document Filename Changes

• Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

In the Microsoft Exchange client version 4.0 for Windows, you can post documents to Exchange folders. These documents can then be edited with the application that created it.

When you edit a posted Microsoft Word for Windows document, the filename changes to "Document in Microsoft Exchange." The filename in the title bar also changes to "Document in Microsoft Exchange."

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange version 4.0 Windows client. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

This becomes a problem when the FileName field is used in the document. When the FileName field is inserted into a Word document, it shows the filename for that document.

For example, if you have a Word document called TEST.DOC, the results of the FileName field would be "TEST.DOC." When this document is posted to an Exchange folder, the result would change to "Document in Microsoft Exchange."

Other document types are not affected (for example, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Notepad, and so forth).
