WORD wont save back into same folder across network 1

[MALFIE]

Few days ago we upgraded one PC to a new system with XP Home.. and installed a new Office Pro 2003. That unit frequently opens a .doc file across a network from the 2nd HDD on a Win98 SE unit. The operator then does a "Save As" usinhg a unique filename.
However, since the upgrade it comes up with a message stating that the file cannot be saved as the location is either not available, there is a password on the file, or it contains invalid symbols.
It wont even allow you to move up into the parent folder.
However, you CAN save it in any other folder on the source HDD other than the one you opened it in.
The sharing on the 98 system is FULL and there is no password..
I tried mapping the folder but that hasn't changed anything..
Is there a known problem with resaving files from XP to 98 SE??

Got me tossed..

Try resetting the sharing permissions of the 98 shared folder once again in case it is confused by the addition of the new Home machine to the Network.

No, tried that... I removed sharing then re-enabled it...
The link you provided didn't seem to shed any new light on the problem..
I suppose its possible to move the data drive over onto the XP system... being data it wont matter where it is accessed from..

well, that certainly narrows it down... although it doesn't appear to be a permanent fix.. I've tagged that forum and will watch for developments.. otherwise I think maybe we may just change the location of the data drive..

Good work! (as usual..)
