CCH Internet Research Connection Error #5.

Solution: If this message appears when you are trying to log in to IRN, verify that your browser does not have cookies, Active X, and/or JavaScript capability disabled. (Note that these are enabled by default when the browser is initially installed.) Keep in mind that if these options are NOT disabled, your network administrator may be disabling these options at the network level.

If your network administrator is NOT filtering cookies, Active X, and/or JavaScript, or has questions about enabling these for use with IRN, contact CCH.

If error #5 is encountered when using the back button on your browser, the browser may not have enough cache space allocated to it. You may need to reinstall the internet browser. It may also be that the temporary files setting in your browser to check for newer versions of stored pages every time you log in may be causing the error. You will want to adjust these settings accordingly.

Microsoft error

The document name or path is not valid.

Solution: This message occurs if you are using the Export to File option to open a document from IRN in Microsoft Word. Instead, try saving the document as a Rich-Text Format (RTF) file to your hard drive, and then open it in Microsoft Word.

It may also be that you do not have access privileges to the file. Check the file permissions for the document and drive.
