I am working with several powerpoint files that are about
30mb in size. They contain several pictures/tables/text.
Anyway I am trying to save them directly to a network
share that is mapped to my computer. Sometimes it saves
with no problems and other times it just sais "Unable to
save file name to location" message. I can do a save as
and change the name slightly and it works fine. I can then
re-save as under the old name replacing the original file
and it works great. I am running Office XP sp2 with
Windows NT sp6. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions.
It is not the end of the world, but since it works
sometimes and then not other times leads me to believe
that it can be fixed.

Andy,

I don't know why you are having this problem.

I'd certainly check you have "fast saves" turned off.. Tools > Options

But I always prefer to save locally (drive C:) then copy/move the file to the server/network drive
