Saving to a network share without delete permssions

Guys,

We have a network share on a Win2K3 Server where users are trying to save
Excel workbooks to. They do not have the delete permission.
When Excel saves I believe it creates a temp file, then saves the .xls and
then tries to delete the temp file. If the temp file is unable to be deleted
the save fails.
(E.G. If the users have delete permissions they can save OK).

Anyone have a good workaround or fix for this?

Thanks,


Steve.

Maybe not so good...

Change the permissions or save to a different folder--or File|SaveAs as a new
name each time they save.

(All ugly, except for changing permissions.)
