Save As problem in Excel 97

Dean

I have a problem with Save As when saving to a network drive.

I am able to read the drive and also move files to and from the drive.
Also I can open an Excel document, make changes and save it with no problem.

When I create a new document and try to save it with a Save As I get the
following message:

H:/---/file isn't accessible
unavailable volume or invalid password.

TIA

Reports indicate the issue is caused by Windows XP update Q885250.

Uninstalling it appears to resolve the problem.

To uninstall Q885250 go to Control Panels>Add Remove and click on "Show
Updates".

Scroll to Q885250 and uninstall it.

Question. Would there be a similar problem with a newer version of Excel?

Yes.

Same problem is cropping up in all versions on a network as far as I can tell.
