I have Visa premium and office 2007, when I save an excel workbook to my
desktop and try to open it later I get the error "windows cannot find "but
other applications like word work fine. I can open the same file from excel
just fine, but not from the desktop.

Try this: Right click the file and choose Run As Administrator.

Thanks Bob, but right clicking on a file in 2007 doesn't even give me that
option, do you think it could hvae anything to do with how the drive is
mapped?

It's most likely a "permissions" issue.
Right click and choose Properties. Make sure Read Only is unchecked.

Let me know if that works because if it doesn't and you are using a Vista
machine you'll probably need to "take ownership".
