We are currently using Office 2000 SP2, Windows 98se desktop, Windows 2000 server and are running McAfee with current definitions.

When I set up either the desktop shortcut or the default file location in Excel to a users network drive (usuallytheir H dirve) Excel does not respond properly.

It won't let you open or save a document from within the program. The Help feature will not let you search. When you re-map to a local drive the problems go away.

As far as I can tell it onlyaffects Excel. The rest fo the office suite seems to function normally. Does anyone have any suggestions?
