Default Excel

With the combined info I realized I could not save back to the disk. When I
saved to the laptop everything worked just fine.

Thanks.

What kind of disk? 3.5" floppy (yeah, I'm a dinasaur), optical as CD/DVD?
Removable hard drive of some type?
Since it's a new laptop and I doubt that you have a 3.5" floppy drive on it,
I'll presume that it's CD or DVD? In which case the problem reported may be
a way of saying that it can't be written to a read-only disk. Most CD/DVDs
can't be written to directly using something like Save As.

If it's something like a thumb drive or removable/USB connected hard drive,
then we have a deeper hole to dig.

Have new laptop and have activated 2007 Office & Student. I put several
spreadsheets from my desktop on a disk and used the new system to update the
file. This worked fine, but when I tried to save the file a "save as" box
appeared that was saving a copy of my document.

When I used save button a notice appeared that said "Path does ot exist.
Check the path and try again"

What do I need to do?
