Office 2007 - No Save Permissions

C

I have a new Vista Ultimate laptop that has Home and Student on it. I
also have a Vista Ultimate desktop that I use OpenOffice on. I use the
desktop as a workgroup base and have all my computers in my house
network mapped to the desktop. I have noticed now with this laptop that
I get a message telling me that I cannot save to the network drive due
to limited privileges.

This is the exact message I get:
-\"YOU DON'T HAVE PERMISSION TO SAVE IN THIS LOCATION\"-

I am personally an administrator on all the computers and haven't run
into this issue until now. What setting should I change so that I can
have full control on this folder of the network drive?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

It should be noted that one way permissions for office files is different
than say a notepad file file is that for "modify" permissions to work the
user does need "delete" permissions. The reason for this is because when the
file is worked on it creates a temp file. Then when saving the new copy it
deleted the temp file. If it doesnt have permissions to delete the temp file
you will not be able to modify and resave.
