Are the Pagemaker files being opened on the server volume? I was working in
a shop that had a similar problem with Pagemaker files on NT servers. I
believe that answer came down that Adobe doesn't recommend that you open
files on the server volume, you supposed to copy them to your local hard
disk first. It's more of a pain and you have to enforce strict file
discipline but it seemed to work.

like:
I post this reluctantly as I am unsure of the circumstances of occurence.
But, here goes. I have users who are runnning Pagemaker 6.5 and having a few
occurences of unexplained Pagemaker File corruption. Supposedly they have
been acting properly, then one day they came in and the files no longer
worked. That is, upon attmpting to open they get a "File can not be
opened..." and they are prompted to choose between the "Last Saved" and
"Most Recent" backup. Clicking on "Last Saved" will cause Pagemaker to have
crash crying "Type 1", "Most Recent" will say that "There is no mini-saved
version" (a Pagemaker deal I presume).
Now, I have observed that if the computer hangs while running an application
from the server, that application no longer is recognized with the proper
creator type. It becomes simpletext. Using resedit to restore creator type
doesn't seem to help. But these pagemaker files display the proper creator
type, until that is you try to open them in Pagemaker and if you select
"Last Saved" and crash the program, they sometimes revert to simple text.
File sizes are staying the same however, so I know that the data are still
there.
Any suggestions?
