Hi Patrick

I am also running Windows 98 / Excel 97 sr-2 trying to save to a Windows 2003 server. I am getting the "document not saved" & "disk is full" when trying to save to a share on the Windows 2003 server. I am also running Open File Option (Veritas backup) & Symantec 8.x on the server (MS KB issue) which I have disabled.

I have also checked permission / space = no issue. Ran a Network Monitor scan when savin the file and found a SMB error = File Path error. (?) Also updated dsclient.



I am most instressted in getting in contact with you if you still have this problem / solution.

Windows 98 SE computers with Excel 97 can not save to
network share. When saving, the progress bar gets to
close to 100% and then Excel hangs. If you do not end
task Excel, a temp file will continue to build in size.
(20k spreadsheet's temp file grows by about 800k every
second) It is an Excel problem and not a permissions
problem on the server. The user has full permissions to
the folder. The problem occurs when logged on as
administrator also. It is not an issue of file name
length because the problem occurs even with a test file
named "test.xls" is being copied to the root folder of
the share. The computer was re-installed from scratch to
make sure it wasn't an issue of file corruption. After
installing Windows 98 SE and Office 97, the problem still
existed. Windows Update has been run on this computer as
of 4/30/2004 and all critical patches were applied.
Also, Office SR2-b and dsclient have been applied. The
problem still exists. I can copy the file from a local
drive to the same network share without problems. The
problem only occurs when trying to save to the share
through Excel. We can login as the sme user on a Windows
XP workstation with Excel 97 and save the same fine just
fine. We did not have this issue with Windows NT
Server. The only change has been Windows 2003. Any help
would be great.
