Running Excel 2002 or Excel 97 on Windows XP, using simple Peer to Peer
network with a Windows 98 SE computer.

Networking works fine on all appliaations, except Excel.

When I create a new work sheet and try to save it to the Windows 98 folder, I
get an error message, 'unable to find folername<. The foldername shown is
now correct but is the concactination of the folder and the filename I am
trying to use. (i.e foldername is excel, filename to be saved is jack1.xls
== error message says unable to fine folder excel\jack1.xls)

Crazy behavior. If I first save this file on the local computer running XP,
it saves fine and I can then save this same file on the Windows 98 computer in
the desired folder.

Any ideas anyone. I have updated XP and Excel to latest versions, and this
still happens.

Again saving files from other applications not a problem, nor is just copying
files. Network is TCP/ip only -- share is not password protected.

thanks
