Connection to a network document is lost in the 2007 Office system or in Office 2010 after the computer resumes from standby

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario. You access a Microsoft Office 2010 document that is located on a network share. Your computer enters standby. Then, you resume the computer from standby. In this scenario, you receive an error message. Error messages resemble those below.

Word error: Word cannot establish a network connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode. Save the document into a different file to keep any changes.

Excel error: The file '<file name>' may have been changed by another user since you last saved it. In that case, what do you want to do? Save a copy or Overwrite changes.

PowerPoint error: The file you were working with was modified during suspend mode, and the original version is no longer available. <file path and name.ppt> must be re-saved.

Additionally, you cannot update the document and then save it back to the network share when the network location is available.

Registry key information

Steps to resolve this issue in Office 2010

Install hotfix package 2413659, and then configure the NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds registry entry to enable the hotfix package. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Install the hotfix package that is described in the following Knowledge Base article:

   2413659 Description of the Word 2010 hotfix package (Mso-x-none.msp, Word-x-none.msp): October 26, 2010

2. Configure the NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds registry entry.

   To do this, follow these steps:

   1. Click Start, click Run, type regeditin the Open box, and then click OK.

   2. Locate and then select the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Options

   3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Dword Value.

   4. Type NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds, and then press Enter.

   5. Right-click NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds, and then click Modify.

   6. In the Value data box, click Decimal, type a number value, and then click OK.

      Note This registry subkey sets the time, in seconds, that Word waits for the network to resume. For example, if you type 15 for the number value, Word waits 15 seconds for the network to resume. You might have to do some tests in your own environment to determine an appropriate value. You may have to try multiple numbers.

   7. Locate and then select the following registry subkey.

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\office\14.0\common\Internet

   8. Repeat step 2C through step 2F again. Reuse the same value that you used previously.

   9. Exit Registry Editor.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, see the Additional troubleshootingsection.
