In previous version of Excel a worksheet could be saved to a read/write drive
(f:\) with no problem and this file could be updated then resaved.
In Vista, my previous read/write files are coming up as "read only" and have
"saved as" but request to do so is not acceptable. I am the only user on
this computer, why can I not save my own updated files, and, if this is
possible, please indicate the steps needed to do so. With much
appreciation...thank you.

This isn't really an Excel question it is the share privileges you have on
that drive on you computer under Vista.

If you navigate to that drive/folder combination in Vista, you should get an
error that you cannot access. If you have admin privileges on the local
machine the UAC (access control in Vista) should pop up asking you if you
want to change the privileges. Answer yes.

For anything more detailed post in a Vista group
