Disk is Full Microsoft Excel
Hi
I have had a problem recently when saving a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet from my client machine which is Windows 98 SE to a Windows Small Business Server 2003 shared folder. I read most of the Microsoft knowledge base articles and tried them without success. I also read most of the Google groups too without success. So what worked for me is this. The file was only 5Mb in size. The Server had no disk quotas. I saved the file to my local My documents folder and it worked ok. But why? I tried saving it again to the Shared Server folder and it did not work. I came across an article about Microsoft word having problems with links in pages that don't work and may be corrupt. So I deleted a worksheet which I copied from another workbook to the problem excel file. Then I saved it to the server again and it worked. However I did not want to delete my work so I put it back again and saved again to server with the same problem. I decided to see what was in my copied worksheet that might be causing problems. It had a lot of #REF and #VALUE in many cells so I deleted all of them and saved the file to the server and it worked. So I figure that if you are having trouble saving Excel files to a server and get Disk is Full error then see if you have lots of #REF or #VALUE in your cells and delete them or consider that a worksheet in your workbook may be corrupt. This worked for me. Let me know if it helps someone. Regards Dominic |

Hi guess what the problem came back, so it does not have to do with
#REF or #VALUE. Why does this happen Mr/Mrs MVP, MCE??? Considering that our server has more than 50Gb space left and the file is only 5Mb in size. I have this environment. Win98 SE client Office XP 2002 with Service Pack 3 (I thought service packs were supposed to help) SBS 2003 with 50Gb space left. Excel file is stored on server but when I save it I get a message saying the disk is full. (Really which disk is that???) I think my computer has a virtual hidden link to a Microsoft Error Log Server (MELS) and the disk on the server has a list of all the errors that occur when using Microsoft products. Every time I have been having the "disk is full" pop up message occur when trying to save my 5Mb excel file a hidden message is sent to a MELS and unfortunately the 1 million Terrabyte disk array has run out of space. So I think Microsoft may need to intall another disk to accomodate the error calls going to the MELS coming from my computer. Regards Dominic Regards Dominic |
