Temp file created. File not saved

[DennisM]

I have "upgraded" to Windows 7 from Vista. I am having numerous problems
with Excel (Office 2000) . One of those is that when I try to do a file
save, I get the message that It wouldn't save and that a temp file has been
created that I must rename and then try again.

When it does this, it won't allow me to save the file in any other location.
The Excel file completely disappears.

I can save new files in the same location as the file in question.


In another forum I followed links to a suggested fix, I tried those steps
and they did not give me anything useful.

I have screen prints of the error messages but do not know how to post them.

Any thoughts please ?

Thanks

The change to Windows 7 has probably made the files and folders you used to
use under vista inaccessible to your windows 7 account and the failure is
Excel trying to get past the 'administrator permission required' prompt.

Try selecting all the files and folders that create the problem and making
sure that your Windows 7 username 'owns' them
