Default Word 2007 - mailmerge, live update of recipients

Performing a mail merge, edit recipients, add a new recipient, complete the
merge.

When close out of the form letter, and prompts to save the data source, file
is read only unable to save the added recipient.

But if go directly into the data source, add a row, manually add the
receiptant, no problems saving the file

Both form letter and data source are stored on a network drive. Both word
documents, tried convert up to 2007 tested, same unable to save changes to
the data source.

Running Vista Enterprise with Office 2007.

Other users in office have no problems using the same merge files, and can
perform a live update of the data source without problems.

Tried giving user local administrator rights and running word as
administrator, try the merge with live update, still unable to save the data
source file is read only. No one else has the data source file open at the
time doing the mail merge.

I'm stumped.
