I've got several users in a subnet who are experiencing an intermittent
problem when saving Excel files. They get an error message:
Your changes could not be saved to '...', but were saved to a temporary
document named '...'. Close the existing document, then open the temporary
document and save it under a new name.
The first '...' is the original file name; the second '...' is a bunch of
numbers. The new file with the numbers in the name is saved in the same
location, and does not have an extension.
I've found a bit of information on Microsoft's support pages about this, but
it only tells what the result of the error is. It doesn't tell me in any
way what is causing this problem.
The users all have full control of the network shares where these files are.
We are certain that files experiencing this problem are not being accessed
by multiple users simultaneously. The files are not read-only. The problem
is intermittent. The client computers all have Windows 2000 Professional.
The share is NTFS.
Does anybody know why this is happening?
