Q146101: XCLN: Dirty Open Freedoc Does Not Give Cancel Option

Article: Q146101
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): 4.0 5.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbusage
Last Modified: 16-MAR-1999

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- 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
========

If you click Word Close while editing a freedoc (a document that resides in one
of Exchange's folders, but is not attached to a message), you either receive the
option to save changes to the original document, or cancel and lose all changes.
If you want to save the changes to a new document name (thus preserving the
original document), you are unable to do so. There is no option to cancel the
Word Close command.

STATUS
======

This is by design, because OLE does not support this action.
