Save as and open dialogue boxes hang for extended periods (>2 minutes).
Anybody else have this problem or know a fix?

Thanks!

Defeats what purpose? You can't save to or open from a network
drive that is mapped but not currently available/connected, so
why leave the network drive mapped?

defeats the purpose of mapping drives within a network, Or connecting to a
network drive. We write to those drives because we all use them. But, we
can't save as" to them. How dumb!

What is strange here..reading from all the MVP's is there is an inherent
problem with saving Office 2007 files to a network drive. You seem to want
to defend this rather than solve it.

The answer for me is ,they want me to take off my antiviral program from my
network drive. Defeats the antiviral issue.

Why not just allow the Office to save to a protected network drive?

Why is it always us.

What they want here is for all of us to adjust to a glitch, that should
never be. "SAVE AS" is just that. I should be able to "save as" to a drive
that has full user permissions with the very same issue, then being asked
questions as to why do I not want to disconnect a network drive.

Because my infrastructure is set that way, and I want to open a .docx from S
drive , change it, then save as" a different mname in the same drive.


I can't...I should be able to.



Why not just make a progra,

Nobody's defending it. But MVPs don't work for Microsoft. We can't fix anything. We
work with the same software you have and cope with the same limitations. Which leaves
us at:

OK, it's broke.
We can't fix it.
So what do we DO about that?
Work out what triggers the bug (it hurts when I do that) and try to find a way not
around it (so don't DO that).

Usually that suggestion is only intended as a test, to determine whether the antivirus
program is causing a problem.

In a perfect world, we could eat all the cake we like and never get fat or have dental
cavities. But the world's not perfect, we can't change what we can't change, so we have
to adjust.
