Outlook 2007 save as .. operation failed

[Guest]

Hi there
I have 2 machines with Windows Media center and Office 2007 running on them.
When both these 2 machines open an email and then choose Save as and choose
Outlook message format and then save to a network share, it comes up with an
Operation Failed error (no further information that that). I then attempted
the same thing from a Windows XP Pro machine Office 2000 and this worked
fine. (I have confirmed the share is an open share and all users have rights
to save there).

Does anyone have any suggestions what would cause this? I did attempt to
save to the local drive which appeared to work fine.

Does it work when you save from another application to that share? For
instance a Word document?

Yes it does.
Even if i choose to save as HTML it works. Just not as "outlook message
format"

Does it work when you save from another application to that share? For
instance a Word document?
