We have a problem when users try to save spreadsheets to a network drive they
get a error message "The disk is full" but the drive has over 30gb of free
space. If they save the spreadsheet to their desktop they can then copy into
a network location.

The problem appears to be intermitent and has appeared on multiple computers
with multiple spreadsheets.

A few of the computers (but not all which is strange) have several events
created in the event log. In the system log they get,

"The description for Event ID ( 50 ) in Source ( Mup ) cannot be found. The
local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL
files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the
/AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for
details. The following information is part of the event:
\Device\WinDfs\Y:0000000000067318, \Device\WinDfs\Y:000000 .. t\manufact."

Any ideas?

Since you are able to save to the desktop, but not the network, then
it's probably the network that is the problem, not Excel.

Yes thats true but any ideas why we only seem to get this problem in Excel?
and no other applications.

Apparently a network problem..........I've had many when with a small
company with a flaky network that experienced frequent "hits", or momentary
interruptions in service.
What happens if you try to save to a different drive on the same network?

You posted a log file entry, but didn't mention the environment you
are working in, so I have no idea how to proceed. You might want to
pose your question to the makers of whatever software you are using.
There might also be a newsgroup for it.

Sorry I couldn't be more help here.
