    Hi Barbie,

            This issue is similar issue which occurs while saving Excel File. This
    issue is documented in Microsoft Kb article 214073
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;214073.

    CAUSE
    This problem will occur when the process that Excel uses to save a file is
    interrupted. For example, if you are saving to an external drive such as a
    network drive, the connection has been dropped. Or, if you are saving to a
    removable disk, such as a floppy diskette, the disk has been removed.

    RESOLUTION
    To continue working with this file, save the workbook to a different disk
    drive. You must restore the connection or correct the problem with the
    original target drive before you can save to that drive again.

    MORE INFORMATION
    When you work in a file, Microsoft Excel saves the file with a temporary
    file name and places this file in the same folder as the original file.
    When you save your file, the original file is then deleted and the
    temporary file is renamed with the original file name.

    If this process is interrupted, your file may not be saved properly or you
    may find one or more temporary files in the folder where you tried to save
    your file. In addition, you may receive one of several alert or error
    messages.

    The following information lists some of the possible messages you may
    receive and explanations as to why you may receive them.
    "Cannot access read-only document <file name>"
    The drive you are saving to is a network drive and you do not have
    sufficient privileges to save to that drive. Save to your local hard disk
    drive or to a floppy disk drive.
    "Disk is full"
    The drive you are saving to does not have enough space for the temporary
    file. Delete some files from the current drive and save to another drive or
    to a floppy disk drive.
    "Document not saved," or "Document not completely saved"
    The process was interrupted while creating the temporary file because you
    pressed ESC, there was some hardware or software failure, or there was
    another media problem. The original file is still intact and ,unless your
    computer or workstation failed, the version of the file containing your
    current changes is still open in memory. Save the file to an alternate
    drive. If your computer or workstation did fail, you can use the original
    file. (Note that any changes made in the last revision will be lost.)
    "Document not saved. Any previously saved copy has been deleted"
    The process was interrupted while deleting the original or renaming the
    temporary file. This problem will occur for the same reasons as the
    scenario described in the "'Document not saved,' or 'Document not
    completely saved'" section. In this case, your original file is gone
    (though the temporary file may be readable). If your computer or
    workstation failed, use the temporary file. If the interruption was caused
    by something else, the version of the file containing your current changes
    is still open in memory. Save the file to an alternate drive.

    Please let me know has this helped You...

    Thank you,
    Raghu...
