Can’t do a save to a network drive

by jackagah . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

I am getting close to the end of my rope. I am running Vista Business and Office 2007. When I open a document in Word it opens fine. When I try to do a “Save As” (a .doc file not the new format) to a network drive, I get an error “There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost.” and the file is not written. I can copy and paste files to and from the network drive using Windows Explorer and (surprisingly) I can open a network file with Word and do a “Save As” to a local drive without any problems. I have tried the above with Windows XP Pro and Office 2007 and the same error occurs.

I have looked at the various Microsoft web sites for any help but I have not found anything that will help me correct the problem.
