I'm not so sure what newsgroup category will this issue fall.

I have a file server with Windows 2000 Server SP4 OS and a WIndows NT
Workstation desktops. Some of my users complain that when they will try to
open an file especially excel file from the server, and when they try to
save the file, its prompts for "Document Not Saved", even though that they
didn't make the file idle. I have 50 desktop PC and 60 CALs for my server.
Please help.

I'm not sure what "make the file idle" means, but when excel saves the file, it
saves it as a temporary file with a funny name (8 characters--no extension).

If the save is successful, xl will delete the original and if that's successful,
xl will rename the funny named file to the original's name.

Common things that get blamed for interruptions to this process are antivirus
software poking its head in or network errors--either permissions or physical
problems.

I think I'd check with the network people to make sure all the permissions were
set correctly.
