Default Can complete save due to file permission error

OS-XP & Office 2007 Storing on USB drive
Using Excel to track student nformation, have hyperlinks to word documents.
Link works fine word works fine until attempting to save
get message "Unable to complete file save due to permission error"

An additional note:

I'm not positive but I have a second computer OS-Vista & Office 2007 After
I open the files using this computer the problem seems to appear, on both.

Never save directly to removable media. Save it to your hard drive then
transfer the file within Windows Explorer.

" Never save directly to removable media. Save it to your hard drive then

I have this problem too. How is this an answer? I use my thumb drive for
all of my data and I have for 6 years. Now, recently this occurs in
conjunction with NAV (Norton Anti Virus). Now, I have found by searching
around that this occurs to people without NAV - it occurs on some specific
hardware.
It is not really an option for me to copy my files when I leave my office on
a moments notice to go to a client site.
Is it the position of MicroSoft that thumbdrives can't be used directly?
This is a relatively old problem. Will there be a patch?
If this is the only answer then why can't word to this bit of grunt work for
me?

I must be a *dummy* but how is this an "answer"? I have this problem too -
it just popped up recently. From searching around I have seen that there are
a number of us for a number of different reasons. It also appears that this
issue is not new.
If this is the answer then why can't MS deliver a patch to Word that does
this for me and save me the grunt work?
I use a thumb drive for all of my working files and have for 6 years. This
is NOT a SOLUTION.

Removable media may only be used with extreme caution as it is all too easy
to corrupt the transient temporary files that Word creates when documents
are opened and edited - thereby corrupting the document or the format of the
removable media itself. It is therefore *always* recommended that you *copy*
files to and from your removable media. If you find it so onerous to
manually copy documents for transportation then you will find a macro at
http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm that will backup files to a
removable drive as you use them.
