Document not saved in Excel 97

[Dexter Southerland]

Hi,
Thanks in advance for your help. I have a new workstation with Windows XP
pro sp1 and have installed Office 97/Excel 97 SR-2. When I try to save a
excel file with or without changes. that had been created before new
workstation. I get Document not Saved. The file/files are on a network drive
and I have full permission to them.
I have tried the same from a Win 98se pc and it works . Save as does not
work either.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Dexter

Hi Dexter..........

Sounds like the same results I used to get when we had LOTS of network
troubles at work on my drop.......others would work ok, but mine, everytime
I opened a network Excel file, and kept it open for any length of time, I
was unable to save it because somewhere in there we had a network
hit........and once that happens, there's no going back.......I got to where
I saved almost every record entered in order not to lose a lot of work.
Have you ticked off anybody in the MIS dept lately <g>?
If you have to have the file open all day, you could open it and save-as
right away to your C drive and at the end of the day put it back on the
network, but that's a pain. But if you get to where that's all that works,
you can set up a couple macros to do the saving for you.
There's no good answer, save getting the network running good.
