Opening Remote Files

OX X 10.11.6 El Capitan

LO 5.3.6.1

I'm working with the first of multiple files that will be located on a Windows 8.1 computer. That computer and my Mac are both hardwired to a network.

LO seems to have an issue opening the document at the beginning of a work session.

Start Windows 8.1.

Start OS X.

Wait until the Mac has recognized and connected to 8.1.

Start LO to the Start Center. The file I want is listed, but when I click on it, I get the message the file does not exist. Even though I know it does exist.

If I click on Open File, I can then navigate to the W8.1 computer, and drill down to the folder where the file is and load it.

Even better, I have the folder that contains the file in the Finder's Sidebar. Click on the folder, it opens and I can load the file I want.

Has anyone else seen this?

Rather disappointing there was no response. :frowning:

But it seems the problem is worse than I described.

The hard drive in this iMac is partitioned into two partitions. LO's Startcenter can't open a file that's on the 2nd partition, either.
