Excel 2007 "document not saved" when on a network share AND file set as an offline file
Hello~ Have this annoying REPEATABLE problem with Excel 2007 running on Vista Business saving to a share on Windows Server 2003. On the client, Vista and Excel all up-to-date with SPs, the machine is part of a domain, and some files on different shares are set to be available offline. On the server, Windows 2003 also up-to-date, the client user has full permissions in all the directories in question - both share permissions and NTFS permissions), and the directory is set to make only files users specify to be available offline. Client has no problem opening and saving files in Excel that are NOT marked as available offline. Also no problems with the new native file format. So now here is the problem - as soon as a file available offline AND in Excel 2003 format is opened by Excel, the properties of that file indicate that the file is offline. i.e. the process of opening the file moves its status to offline. Then any attempt to save the file results in the dreaded "document not saved" error message. This occurs with a constant dedicated network connection. So, a work around has been to save it local and then drag and drop it over to the network when finished. Another work around (that works sometimes when Excel lets it happen) is to open the properties of the file AFTER opened by Excel, hit the [Sync] button to move the file back to online - and then for the rest of the session it stays online and you can save it at will. So in summary, it seems that Excel 2007 has the nasty habit of moving an XLS document from online to offline upon opening and then cannot save it anymore. Anyone else have this issue or a fix? Using Office 2007 organization wide hinges on it. Regards
rhertzler

Document Not Saved #3
We run Excel off of our local desktops, but same most of the work to a server. We frequently get error messages when we attempt to save a file. The save process just stops mid way through and says, document not saved. This doesn't happen with any other programs like MS Word. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this or what is causing it??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Document not saved problem
This is probably simple, but it sure has me stumped. I created a workbook by moving 11 different Excel files into a single workbook. Each file occupies a single sheet in the workbook.

I really need to create this single workbook from multiple files. Roy Do you have permission to save to the folder you're using? Any interference with your Antivirus software?

He'll be working away on some Excel sheet which is usually big (not huge) and with macros. He'll go to save, and gets the message "Document not saved" Nothing else, just that message. If he tries doing a Save As to either a different name or location (network or local), it does the same thing; it's just faster with the message on the local drive.

I have an excel file that contains vba code and is about 450kb which i have distributed to about 15 users. Only one user is getting this error. He is able to save it from the email to his C: drive, but when he tries to save changes or save as another file name he gets the error. His C: drive has plenty of space, so disk space and network connection cannot be the issue. Therefore the issue must be that the process is being interupted. Also, during the save, the progress meter goes about half way then stops for a few seconds, then the error shows up. I cannot find a listing of possible...
