You are working in a Terminal Services session in Windows Vista. When you try to save a document in a 2007 Microsoft Office program to a redirected drive, you receive the following error message:

There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost.
(\\tsclient\Path\FileName.docx)

Therefore, you cannot save the 2007 Office document to the redirected drive.

This problem occurs when the Terminal Services session is initialized by a Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 component. By default, the Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 component is included in Windows Vista. The Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 component can be installed manually on earlier versions of Windows.

When you type an extended character in a 2007 Microsoft Office program or in a Microsoft Office 2003 program, the character is replaced by a character in the Chinese MingLiU_HKSCS font. Typically, this font is included in Windows Vista.

This problem occurs when you use a program such as Microsoft Office Word or Microsoft Office PowerPoint.

When you open or are using a Microsoft Office Access database on a computer that is running Windows Vista, you may encounter one or more of the following issues:

• Access appears to stop responding.
• Access responds very slowly.
• Access exits unexpectedly or crashes.
• An event that resembles the following is logged in the Application log:
  

  Log Name: Application
  Source: Application Hang
  Logged: Date_and_Time
  Event ID: 1002
  Task Category: (101)
  Level: Error
  Keywords: Classic
  User: N/A
  Computer: Computer_Name
  Description: The program MSACCESS.EXE version Version_Number stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel. Process ID: Process_ID Start Time: Hexadecimal_Time Termination Time: Hexadecimal_Time

After you encounter one or more of these issues, you receive the following error message the next time that you open the database:

The document Database_Name caused a serious error the last time it was opened. Would you like to continue opening it?

When you open the database, you encounter the following issues:

• All data in tables and queries shows as “#Name?”
• You no longer see any objects in the navigation pane

This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:

• The database that you are using is a shared database that resides on a Windows Vista-based computer.
• Two or more Windows Vista-based computers are trying to use the database at the same time.

Note: If you run the beta versions of Windows Server Code Name “Longhorn,” you may also experience this problem.

You try to open a 2007 Microsoft Office document that is on a shared folder, or you try to save a 2007 Office document to a shared folder. When you do this, you are prompted two times to type your username and your password to access the shared folder.

You cannot use Speech Recognition in Windows Vista to select commands on floating toolbars in Microsoft Office. However, you can select commands on docked toolbars in Office.

So you finally have Vista. What can you do now? Like most of us, you’ll probably need a ‘productivity suite’, those applications for the common day to day tasks you need to accomplish. Though there are plenty of free or cheap alternatives, most of us end up running Microsoft Office, largely because that’s what you use at work, or what is most compatible with all the data you’ve generated thus far. You wouldn’t know it by the media coverage, but Vista wasn’t the only new release today, Microsoft also released Office 2007. Keep reading →

Microsoft has released a product guide for Windows Vista. Strangely enough, they either want you to buy Vista, buy Office 2007, or build a test computer to be able to read the guide. Keep reading →
