While using Excel 2000 on a Novell 5.x network with Windows 2000 clients and MS Office 2000 I receive the following message: Document saved successfully. Cannot reopen the saved document due to low memory. Please close the document. The save works fine and I can continue to work on the file. I have tried this on several xls files with the same results. I do not see an memory problems. Office has all the latest patches. Could there be a problem with a MS Office patch?

Well, you could have a memory leak, or too small of a page file.

How much RAM do you have?

And, are you using a fixed size page file?
If not, how much free space is on the C: drive?

For Windows 2000, I would want a bare minimum of 128MB of RAM.
256MB or more would be better.

Next, if using a fixed size page file, it should be the larger of 2 times RAM, or 1GB - RAM.

If using a normal Windows controlled page file, you want a minimum of 1GB free hard drive space.

This problem is happening on thee workstations. All have 256megs ram. I upped the page size to 1gig. That didn't help. Each computer has more than 1gig free hard drive space. Any other ideas?

I had the same problem on a Novell network, but it was with Lotus. The problem stemmed from the Novell client. Is the client prior to 4.83 service pack 2? I would use at least client 4.9. If you are using NDPS, you have to chose custom install to select it, or you won't have any printers after you install it.

The computers where using NW client 4.81. I upgraded to 4.9 sp1 and the problem has been resolved

thank,
