I'm using Excel 2000 on Win XP.

When I open a file that is located on a network drive, and revise file
and go to save it the file is changed to temp file with a different
name, usually numeric. This temp files replaces the original filename.
It doesn't do this for another other program and also doesn't do it if
I save to the c drive.

The error message reads..."changes could not be saved...but were save
to a temporary document named 08ED9871. Close the existing document,
then open the temporary file and rename it"

When I do this it doesn't allow me to rename...

Any ideas?

thx in advance.
