Saving Excel error

[Guest]

I have installed MS Office 2003 on some new IBM ThinkCentre's, model#
8215-22u, and am having a problem saving existing Excel files on our network.
When the file is on the hard drive, I don't get the message. This is the
message: "The file may have been changed by another user since you last
saved it. In that case what do you want to do - Save a copy - Overwrite
changes". We have been using Office 2003 on other model ThinkCentres for
over a year with no problem. We have installed all the Microsoft updates,
installed all hardware updates and searched the Microsoft knowledge base and
nothing works. No one else has the file open. When I create a new file, I
can save it, but when I reopen it, I get the message. Command antivirus is
running on these computers, but it is also running on all the others. I
would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks.

Give this a try.

You receive an error message when you save a file after the network
connection is lost in Excel

I think we found the problem. The antivirus was the culprit. The server is
running a different av than the pc's and there was a conflict. We changed an
av setting on the pc's. Thanks.
