Hi,

I save Word documents on a remote PC across a home network.

I recently fully updated Windows and I suspect that one of the updates has
caused the following behaviour.

Today, when I tried to save a new document, Word announced that "The folder
may be loacated in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the
filename contains / or \." and wouldn't let me save.

I've found a work-around...

I go into Windows Explorer, navigate via My Network Places to the PC and
folder in question, right-click in the file pane and choose New -- Microsoft
Word Document and give the new file the filename required. I then return to
Word, create my document, do a Save As..., select the pre-created file and
choose Replace File. Voila!

Bizarre!

Any guesses?

Thankyou for your time.

Graham.
