Apple Workgroup Server 8550 - Manual (Page 100)

You see a message that an application program can’t be found.
The following dialog box appears if you try to open a document created
using software that is not on your hard disk.
Normally, you see this message if you try to open a document that came
from another computer with software that is different from yours.
m
Some documents can be opened by more than one application program.
Try starting a program that you think might be able to open the
document, then choose the Open command from the program’s File
menu to try to open the document. (Or drag the document to the
program’s icon. If the program can open the document, the program’s
icon highlights.)
m
Purchase and install the correct software to use the document, or find out
if the original owner of the document can convert it to a form that one of
your programs can use.
m
Don’t try to open the files in your System Folder. Most of the System
Folder files are used by your server for internal purposes, and are not
intended to be opened.
m
Rebuild your desktop. (Refer to “Rebuild Your Desktop” earlier in this
chapter.)
m
The application program itself may be damaged. Try reinstalling it.
m
If the document is from a DOS computer, use the PC Exchange control
panel. See the information on setting up your Macintosh to use DOS files
in the “DOS, Windows, Apple II Files” topic of Macintosh Guide,
available in the Guide (h) menu.
m
See the Workgroup Server Read Me file for additional information about
Macintosh PC Exchange and DOS-formatted media.
