ms word receives system error &H800040005 when opening shared file

[matrixxx]

Hey,

I have a win XP machine that acts as the server sharing the files. I have a win 2000 machine (office 2000) that accesses the shared files. PowerPoint and Excel seem to be able to open the shared files with no problems, but when I try to access the shared files with word I receive system error &H800040005, out of memory error. Both machines have plenty of memory(256ram) and hard drive space. The only thing I can find on my searches is that the files may be corrupted, but this is happening with too many word shared files.

Note: this only happens to shared files, not with local word files.

Has anybody had the same problem and knows of a fix.

thanks

If it's not the Word docs, then you might want to ask in the server forums instead of here...

Thanks Dreamboat. I would consider it an OS problem if it happened with all applications, at all times. This seems to affect Word and with some docs it happens all the time and others it happens some of the time.
