"Save as" does not work with WIndows 2000, Word, Novell

[lyonmt]

I have two users that when trying to use the "save as" feature, they are denied write access. They get a message stating "Cannot save 'S:\File.doc' The folder is marked as 'Read Only'."

THey have permission to write and can copy/paste/delete in the folder. THey can save changes to a document normally, but cannot Save as a new file name.

They are running Windows 2000 with Word 97 on one machine and Word 2003 on the other. They are trying to save directly to a Novell server and the other to a Snap server running Novell permissions.

Anybody have any idea what might be causing this?

We used to have this problem with an Excel solution. I ended up writing to the C: drive then using a BAT file to move the files to the server. The problem only occurred on Windows 2000 / Office 2000 setups. It did not exist on Windows 98 / Office 97 setups and I have not seen the problem reoccur since we upgraded to Windows XP / Office XP.

Sorry not to have more encouraging advice!
