problem saving excel file on a network
Several Users are sharing a workbook over a Network. While Saving, users receive the message that they can no longer access the workbook as it is unavailable. The original file "schedule.xls" changes to an 8 charactor filename 2729CE00. Are there too many users? Could it be network interference? -- cell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cell's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32636 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=524443 |

problem saving excel file on a network
When excel saves the file, it saves it as a temporary file with a funny name (8
characters--no extension). If the save is successful, xl will delete the original (or rename it to its backup name (like "backup of book1.xlk)) and if that's successful, xl will rename the funny named file to the original's name. Common things that get blamed for interruptions to this process are antivirus software poking its head in or network errors--either permissions or physical problems. From someone who has no idea what's going on, it kind of sounds like a physical network problem -- disconnecting???? cell wrote: Several Users are sharing a workbook over a Network.
