In Excel XP, I open two files from a local folder. Then I save (using 'Save
As') the first file to a folder on a network share, when I try and save the
second file to a different folder on the same network share, Excel saves the
second file to the folder the frst file was saved to. I can diplicate this on
multiple machines on multiple domains. I have applied all updates. Is there a
way to stop this from happening? The only work around I have come up with is
to close Excel between each 'Save As' attempt.

when I try and save the second file to a different folder

When you do the second Save As are you saying that Excel will not allow you
to select another folder? Or are you saying that, even though you can
select another folder, Excel will not use it? I've have never run into
either problem (and I just tried it now with Excel 2002).

I can select the folder, and it appears to save the file, but when I go

first "save as" location is sticking when I try the second "save as". I am
using Excel 2002 (10.6816.6817) SP3

Does this help?

Sub savefileasandcomeback()
originalpath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
MsgBox op
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"YourPath\YourName.xls", _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
ChDir originalpath
End Sub

The same version as I was using. Very strange as it does not happen for me,
as I said. Sorry I do not have an answer.

I wasn't doing this through code. One of my users just likes to open multiple
Excel Spread sheets at the same time and then save them to different
locations.
