Word cannot save due to a file permission error

[Bill Artman]

Hello;

I am using Word 2002 with Windows XP Home. I used to be able to do a Save
As to another network drive just fine and them something apparently happened
and now I can't.

When I try to do a Save As to a folder on another machine on my network I
get the error "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error.
(Z:\...\Photo list of ...).

Does anyone have an idea what the problem may be? Thanks for your help!

Try using UNC path rather than mapped drive and see if the error is the
same.

Terry -

What is UNC path? I have never heard of that?

Thanks!

Instead of using a mapped drive, you save using universal naming convention
something like:

\\computername\folder\subfolder

Thanks for your help. I'll try the UNC method to save my file. Have a
great week!

I had the same error " Word cannot save due to file permission error"

I could not save the doc. the error was not steady, sometimes it gave error after 4 savews, sometimes after 9 times i save...

I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. I just added winword.exe to exclusion list (or trusted app). and my word was normal.

Before adding winword.exe to exclusions list of antivirus, I had tried everything like, opened word from:
Start = Run = winword /a
Deleted normal.dot
deleted data folder in the registry under microsoft office >1.0 (11.0 or 12.0 depending upon versions of office)>word > Data

Nothing happened.

Hope this solves the problem
