Unexpected Error 4160 - Bad File Name when creating new documents
Details:
When creating a new document, TurboLaw displays an error message, which lists the error number as 4160, the error description as "Bad File Name," and the error source as "Microsoft Word." The error message will appear similar to the one shown below.
The document will then open, but no data will be merged.
This problem will occur if you are using TurboLaw's "Alternate Case Folder Location" and you have chosen a network folder (a "UNC path", selected through the "Network Neighborhood" or "My Network Places" icon) instead of a mapped network drive (through "My Computer").
Above: The "Alternate Case Folder" option.
Above: Selecting a network folder in this way causes the error 4160.
Above: When a network folder is selected, it appears as shown above (with "\\" in front of the path name).
Resolution:
TurboLaw and Microsoft Word require you to use a mapped network drive instead of a UNC path. Therefore, any time you are referencing a file or folder on your network, use a mapped drive and not a UNC path. (A UNC path begins with 2 slashes, such as \\Server\My Documents\. If you mapped the folder "My Documents" on "Server" to a drive letter, such as T:, you would reference that folder with "T:\" instead. This is what is required for TurboLaw.)
Above: mapped network drives appear under the "My Computer" icon, and are named similar to the one shown above.
Above: When a mapped network drive is selected, it will appear similar to the example shown above.
