Hi All,

We have a user who attempts to save a NEW excell spreadsheet to a shared
working drive folder on the network, however when user presses save the
dialog box says that the file already exists although this is a brand new
file name. User can save file to his home drive and then drag and drop to the
working drive without a problem.

Could someone help please as this is a really odd situation.
 
Sounds like permissions problem. When working with Office documents the
program works with the file in the local \temp directory, then when you save
the file, Excel needs to be able to delete the original file and replace it
with the working copy from the \temp directory.
