Sharing / Saving with XP Pro and Vista

G

Guest

Any ideas on this?

Environment:
Workgroup with multiple xp sp2 machines with office 2003
File server using xp sp2 with office 2003
One workstation using vista ultimate using office 2007 ultimate

Shared xls files on file server

Problem:
All machines can access the xls files but only the xp sp2 machines can save
them, vista machine cant save.

Error Msg on Vista Machine:
Your changes can not be saved because of sharing violation. Try saving to a
different file.

Check the user account permissions on the shared folder. Make sure
that the user who logs into the Vista machine has permission to write
in the folder.
