I got the folling response to an earlier question but do not know how to find
the article the responder referenced. Can someone tell me where he is
expecting me to find the reference?
I tryed the seach box on the Microsoft.com page but it came back with 0
results found

Thanks

The only response you got was from Bruce Sinclair and I see no reference to
anything in his reply.

Quoted from Bruce's reply..................................

Are you really close to your disk limit (ie if you saved 2 files the same
size as the one you are talking about, would you get the message on the
second save but not the first ?). The first thing XL does when opening is
create a temp file in the directory where the original is. (copy 1).
When you try to save it, I think it creates a new version, then deletes the
temp file. (copy 2). That it works fine on the desktops is an indicator.
Suggest you have a dung out in the shared directory or ask for more disk
space. :)

there is 50GB of space available so after some more research it looks like I
was going in the wrong direction. With some trail and error I have found
that we are encountering the issue when the workbook reachs a larger size
when the failure occurs that first throws up a message that says

Excel is unable to load the cached records for one or more PivotTable
reports. You will need to refresh those report before they can be used again.
:

after clicking ok on the dialog the messagebox pops up stating that the Disk
is full and then clicking ok the message

Document not saved. comes up and lastly a message that states

Windows was unable to save all the data for the file [path\filename].
The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your
computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file...

So it now looks like it is some kind of timeout issue.. I'll go back to the
postings and search timeouts or saving large files to the network drive and
see what I can find.
