Office 2007 Programs Will Not Save to a Server

[MXC]

We are running SMall Business Server 2003 R2. We now run Vista Ultimate on
three PCs and they work fine. We run Office 2003 without a problem and share
fiels on the server.

We added Office 2007 to one machine and have a very weird problem:
Word/Excel etc. will only save to the hard drive on its own machine and
nothing to the server. This only happens with Office 2007. Other programs
(e.g., notepad) save to the server without a problem and Office 2003 had no
issue. The same user can sign in on other machines, use other programs and
save to the server. And the Office 2007 can open files form the server, they
just cannot save them.

Any ideas?

#define "cannot save"

do you get an error message?

Thanks for responding:

When I go to save a file, I get an error message that says "There has been a
network or file permission error. The network conection may be lost."

The network connection works fine and I have sufficient permissions
(Admnistrator): I can save files from other programs (note pad, quicken,
etc.) with no difficiulty and Office 2003 had no problem saving files to the
server either. The only problem occurs with Office 2007. I have tested this
with Word, Excel and Powerpoint and the same issue arises.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I had the exact same problem, I found the solution on a forum
somewhere:
disable Bitdefender - worked like a charm. Unfortunately I have to get
a new AV now a small price to pay - i guess

Arvin - had a similar problem with bitdefender on a network. I just
exempted the shared drives from the scanner and it went away. If you
need any help feel free to msg me. The people where I bought it from
(antivirus.citationsoft.com) helped me out a lot with it.

I have the same problem under Windows XP Pro and Office 2007. I can
not save to network drives, even when I disabled the AV program (Avast
Pro).
