When using the spreadsheet sheet in works 2001 and saving a file to a floppy it works fine, but as soon as you try to save the file again using the save button it returns an error: Insert the disk containing the document A:/Filename. The floppy diskis not in the drive, the drive door is open, or the disk is write-protected. Correct the problem and try again. The save as function works fine.

Try copying the file to your hard drive or desk top,the drive is being accessed because the save command is searching for the file from the last command,you have transfered the file to the floppy.

the files are initially saved to the A:drive so it should not look for it on the hard drive.

If you have access to another PC, try to take the saved file on the floppy and open it on another machine, if you can open, change and save, then the problem with your floppy drive...., first time it reads you save what you want and at the same timeit damaged the floppy...

Good luck

The Floppy works just fine on another system. That aint the case either. i actually was able to reproduce this on another system. I am thinking that somehow the first save command doesnt release the floppy. Anyone knows how I can verify this?
