WEIRD Excel problem when saving....

[jcolon68]

OK,here's the deal.. I created a folder on one of our servers where
want some people to save files , but not be able to modify them. Sav
them , be able to open and read them, but that's it.
I created a test folder and gave myself Read/write access to it, no
modify...

Ok, when I open a file in Excel and "Save as" from Excel , I get th
message, "File already exist, do you want to replace it" , even thoug
the folder is empty and this is the first time I'm saving this file...
If I click "NO" , don't replace it, it saves it , but when I check th
file , it's 0 bytes , nothing in it...????

If I save from Word or any other application I don't have any problems
If I save to my desktop and "Copy,Paste" to the folder , it saves fin
too. The problem is only when I try to save directly from Excel usin
"Save As".

Any ideas?? PLS??

It seems to me, when you choose "NO" don't replace it, it does just
that. And because there was no file there to begin with (as you said
the folder was empty), when you were done, there is still no valid file
there.

Try choosing "YES" when asked to replace and see what happens.

Good Luck
