The disk is full

[Guest]

Windows XP. I have one workstation on our network that is having a peculiar
problem. When the user opens an Excel file on the network drive and tries to
save changes she gets the following error messages:

The disk is full

Document not saved.

When I try to copy and paste the file from Windows Explorer on her system I
get the following error:

Cannot copy XYZ.xls
There is not enough disk space.
Delete one or more files to free disk space, and then try again.

The network drive has oodles of room (80 GB) and the user's local disk has
oodles of room (26 GB). Everyone else can access this file, edit it, save
it, copy it, etc. What could be askew on this one workstation? Thanks for
the help.

I have not run into that, but could it be a quota issue ??
Are quota's enabled on that system ??

Tried to send this earlier. But someone between me and the cable office
decided to drive drunk and hit a pole containing the cable wires to our
neighborhood. So no cable connection to the internet or cable TV. Sorry

Pastor, right click on the drive you are trying to copy to, go to
Properties. When
the window opens look under the tab "Quota". Is "Enable Quota Management"
checked?. If it is then uncheck the box. Check all of the drives on your
network for the same. It should fix the problem.

Dear Friend:

Thank you for the tip. I did unclick the quotas and the problem went away.
However, I am a little perplexed, as this user did not have anywhere near the
quota (1 GB) used on the network drive. Moreover, I tried setting the quota
up to 10 GB and she still had the error messages. Is there just something
wrong with this "quota" functionality? Thanks and God bless for your help.
