When using "save as" to save a new file I am finding that my software is
saving the file using only the first letter of the name I have typed. ie;
typed file name = "snoopy". File will be saved as "s".
Does anyone know what might be causing this and how I might fix it?

WinXP?

Check to see if Excel is running in Windows 95 compatibility mode.

There was a post that said:
When I disabled compatibility mode the file name problem went away.

And maybe this will help:
