This is an ACCESS newsgroup, not a WORD or EXCEL newsgroup.

Probably it's a disk to which you do not have enough privileges to
write. Try opening "My Computer" and view the properties of the disk
in question, and check out the Security tab.

You may want to ask your systems administrator, or ask this question
in a newsgroup for the version of Windows that you are using; it's not
likely to be a problem with eitehr Word or Excel, and it is certainly
NOT a problem with Microsoft Access, the subject of this newsgroup!
