why am I unable to save a Excel file on a network drive%3f
I am presently using Windows 2000 and Excel 2003. Whenever I try to save a
file on a networked drive I get an error message indicating the folder is write protected. I have checked the folder attributes and it is not write protected. |

Reports indicate the issue is caused by Windows XP update Q885250. Uninstalling it appears to resolve the problem. http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q885250 -- Regards Ken.......................

Tried finding that update on my system but was unable to do so. I usually
update my systems weekly. "Ken Wright" wrote: Previously posted by Beth Melton Reports indicate the issue is caused by Windows XP update Q885250.

Probably can't find it because you are running Windows 2000. The Windows XP update will not affect your OS<g Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Thu, 17 Mar 2005 17:07:05 -0800, ken wrote: Tried finding that update on my system but was unable to do so.
