Saving Excel File to a Network Drive
I am having an issue with saving Excel files, directly to a network share,
from within Excel. I receive the following error message below: ############################################## The File could not be accessed. Try one of the following: Make sure the specified folder exists. Make sure the folder that contains the file is not read-only Make sure the file name does not contain any of the following characters: < ? [ ] : | or * Make sure the file/path name doesnt contain more than 218 characters ############################################## The root folder name is [Marketing Resources]. I dont have this issue with MS Word or PowerPoint. I have to save the file to a different location then move to the network share. My company has had this folder for years so I wonder if a Service Pack broke this ability from within Excel. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? |

try deleting something in that folder. excel needs to delete temp files in
the folder you are saving to, it could be someone removed that permission "Jason" wrote: I am having an issue with saving Excel files, directly to a network share, from within Excel.

Thanks for replying to my post. This suggestion did not work for me. Do you
have any others?
