Windows 2003 Save Issue

[qubit747]

When I try to save a document in Word 2003 on my Windows 2000 computer to a shared folder on my Windows ME computer, the W2000 computer reports that: "A folder by "SUCHANDSUCH" name can not be found." I think what its doing is looking for a folder by the name of the file I'm trying to save. The only way it will save is if I name the file the name of a pre-existing file in the folder. Then it asks me if I want to overwrite that file.

To make it even more confusing, if I open a Word document from the ME machine on the W2000 machine, it opens fine, and will save any changes I make to it. And I can right click in explorer and make a new document, and title it whatever I want.

So, how do I get Word 2003 to save files on a Windows ME shared drive?

Might have solved the issue with W2K SP4. Will try it out tomorrow.

Whoa, yeah. Definitely make sure you're completely up to date on both your Windows 2000 and Windows ME installs.

When you go to save the file try doing a 'save as' which will open up the browser. Then browse to the shared folder and try saving it. It sounds like your pathing is getting screwed up.
