Recently several users (including myself) have been getting the following
warning.

Windows - Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file.
The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your
computer hardware or network connection.

We get this warning when you open a file or when you close a file without
saving it (There are no macros in the files to save them on open or close).

It seems to only give the warning once for each file, if you open it a
second time it works ok. Some files work ok and do not show the warning.

We are using windows xp sp2 on a network domain with office 2000 sp3.

Can anyone please help with this issue, could it be related to a windows
update?

If you don't get an answer here, you may want to ask in a dedicated windows
newsgroup.
