Default Can't "Save As" on Network

Hello,

I hope this is an appropriate group to post this problem.

I have 2 computers networked to each other, one running WindowsXP & MS
Office2003, the other Windows98 & MS Office97. Running Excel from
either computer, I can open, save and create files in shared folders on
the other computer. The problem is with the "Save As" command from
the WindowsXP machine - I always get the message "The folder
'\\servername\sharedfolder\newfilename.xls' isn't accessible.
The folder may be in an unavailable location, protected with a
password, or the filename contains a / or \ ." (I get the same
message with MS Word). This problem first appeared after the WindowsXP
computer was updated to MS Office2003 - the Windows98 machine does
not exhibit this problem. To date, I haven't found a solution at the
Microsoft site. I'm sure I'm missing something here, I'd
appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Regards,

DaveU
