I opened a Novell drive (G
and a local drive (C that both contained an identical 2-day-old file.
1. I opened the file from the C: folder - an Excel file.
2. I saved the file.
3. I dragged from the G: folder to C:. I used right click to drag. I chose copy.
His Replace? dialog showed the old date for the C: file. Wrong.
So I escaped and hit F5 to refresh the C: folder. Yep, it now showed today's date on the file.
I repeated the copy, and AGAIN the file date for C: (i.e., for both files) was 2 days old in the replace dialog. Wrong.
Any insight?
And please don't even think of simply dismissing that as a mildly harmless error, merely in the replace prompt dialog:
It ALSO occurs when I Save As a new filename from Excel. The old original date goes on the newly saved file.
I work predominantly with Excel files so I have only seen it there. This behavior was discovered after I switched from Win98 to W2K.
