Troubleshoot online meetings

Microsoft Office Access 2003

When you use a Microsoft Access file or data access page during an online meeting, you can print or save the file only to the computer that hosted the online meeting. When you click Print, you print the file on the printer selected by the person hosting the online meeting. When you click Save, you save the file to the host's hard disk or server, not to your own machine.

If you want a copy of the file you're collaborating on, ask the host of the online meeting to send you a copy of the file through e-mail, or copy the document contents and paste the contents to a file on your computer.

ShowOther people in the online meeting see a crosshatch pattern on the screen.

Make sure no windows are covering your Microsoft Access database, Microsoft Access project, or data access page.

  • Quit programs you are not using.
  • Minimize other windows on your desktop.

ShowHow?

Right-click the background of the Windows taskbar, and then click Minimize All Windows on the shortcut menu.

ShowI don't see some items that other people in the online meeting see.

Make sure your screen resolution settings match the settings of the other online meeting participants. See Windows Help for more information about setting your screen resolution.

Connect to another server

  • In the Place a Call dialog box, select another directory in the Directory list.

Send an e-mail message or telephone the other person

  • Let the person know that you want to have an online meeting. In the Find Someone dialog box, you need to select another directory in the Directory list, or simply notify the person you want to invite via e-mail or telephone.

ShowWhich NetMeeting directory server should I connect to?

The first time you start an online meeting, you'll be prompted to select a directory server to connect to. You can select any of the directory servers from the list in the Server name box under Directory. If you're a corporate user, ask your system administrator for the name of a directory server you can connect to.
