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. |

Can complete save due to file permission error
Never save directly to removable media. Save it to your hard drive then
transfer the file within Windows Explorer. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "LLH" wrote in message ...

Can complete save due to file permission error
" Never save directly to removable media. Save it to your hard drive then transfer the file within Windows Explorer." 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? DaveF |

" Never save directly to removable media. Save it to your hard drive then transfer the file within Windows Explorer." 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. DaveF967 |

Can complete save due to file permission error
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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DaveF wrote: " Never save directly to removable media.
