The folder"name" isn't accessible

[Guest]

When I try to save a file that I have adjusted with a new name I get the
following message: The folder "name" isn't accessible. The folder may be
located in an unavailable volume or protedted with a password. I have been
saving files like this for years. What's up?

Did you include a backslash (or forward slash) in your name. Maybe
excel/windows saw that as another folder instead of the name of the file.

Is the file stored on a network, and have you just had a Windows update in
february?

Just seeing a lot of similar posts in the last couple of weeks.

My computer tech people tell me this is a problem with a recent update.
Apparently this is showing up since the latest update.

Kindly provided by Beth melton one of the Office MVPs:-

Reports indicate the issue is caused by Windows XP update Q885250.
Uninstalling it appears to resolve the problem.

Might want to suggest your tech guys try this on one of the affected
machines

I have found the problem. The windows update KB885250 which happened around
the middle of Feb is the problem. Hopefully there will be a fix on the way.
