No File List in "Save As"

Guest

I an running XP Professional and Office 2003. When I try to save Word
documents into existing folders (using "save as" function), often times the
list that gets populated in the pop-up box is incomplete. For example, I
will have a folder in Documents called "Client" and it has two subfolders
called "Client A" and "Client B", each containing some word documents. When
I try to "save as" a new document to subfolder Client B, the "save as"
function pulls up "Client" but will not show the subfolders CLient A and
Client B. This only happens with some of my folders - others will be listed
perfectly and show all subfolders and documents within the folder. I've
checked that I am asking it to list all documents and it's set appropriately.
Any ideas for me? Thank you very much.

Possibly the subfolders are hidden and you haven't enabled display of
hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer or My Computer?

Well, I think I know what you mean so I went to the main file folder "Client"
and looked at properties. There was nothing that indicated hidden. Is there
some other way I should be checking on whether I inadvertantly marked them as
hidden?

Uusing Folder Options, under Tools, I just checked the View. The box is
checked to show hidden files. What now?

Found the problem. It was not what I thought but your comment helped me to
figure it out. I had two main folders by the same name and the "save as"
function was brining up the empty folder! Sorry for the bother. Problem was
my stupidity. Thanks for helping!
