Just to muddy the waters...

I've been disconnected from my network drive and the Save didn't work. But I
can't remember a time when the SaveAs failed. Well, as long as I was saving to
a drive that was still available.

When you pull an Excel file down off a network, there is a "little silver
thread" that links the file back to where it came from. If the connection to
the network is interrupted, even for an instant, the thread is broken and
Excel does not know it's way back home. Also, Save-As will not work. If the
file is open and of critical content, the only thing you can do is to copy
and paste sheets off into a new Excel file and then save that file. I used
to work in a small company where network interruptions were constant, and
this problem was commonplace. You can either copy the file to your C drive
and then open it from there and then save back to the network when finished
working.....or if you have to use the network file, just start saving after
every couple minutes and when you hit this problem again, just get out and
start over again......painful, but works.

Hello all,

I have an Excel file that I can not save. I used Save and Save As. I also
tried to save it to different locations and different names, and it still
wouldn't let me save. It keeps saying that Excel can not save (I don't
remember the exact wording).

Does anyone know why? Please help.

Thanks.
