I have a user that is trying to save a document in excel but it will not save. I have tried opening another spreadsheet & it saved with no problem. Any suggestions.

This may sound stupid but check the file name the user is saving as. Chances are they are using a / \ forward or backward slash in the filename.

What is the error you get? Check for all the attributes of the file, check for the permissions-it is quite possible that the file inherits permissions from its parent folder-which will not allow to modify the file!
Check & let us know if its not working.

Check the file name... check the file size... check to make sure no other file exists with that name... and check to make sure there's enough free space on the hdd.

What error is she getting? You may also want to make sure that the excel document is not opening as read-only (especially if this is on a networked drive and other people have access to it). If the document is opening as read only, then you need to use your server and find out who else has the file opened and locked.
