Re: Can some explain the answer I received

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The only response you got was from Bruce Sinclair and I see no reference to
anything in his reply.

Quoted from Bruce's reply..................................

Are you really close to your disk limit (ie if you saved 2 files the same
size as the one you are talking about, would you get the message on the
second save but not the first ?). The first thing XL does when opening is
create a temp file in the directory where the original is. (copy 1).
When you try to save it, I think it creates a new version, then deletes the
temp file. (copy 2). That it works fine on the desktops is an indicator.
Suggest you have a dung out in the shared directory or ask for more disk
space. :)

I have a copy of Excel 2003 installed on a server. It is in a share were the
4 people on out team can access throuh a mapped drive. When any of us open
the workbook make some changes and attempt to save it we get a messavebox
that says the disk is full.

This in not true.
If we save the workbook to our desttop, make the edits save it and copy it
back to the server they are saved for the next person to see without a
problem.

This adds a good deal of time to the changes over the month and we would
like to know ifanyone can tell us why we cannot edit the file directly on the
server. It contains a data source to a database that populates the workbook
with some data, if that matters.

Any ideas of why we have this behavior and what we could do so that we can
simply open the file in place make the changes and then save it , would be
greatly appreciated.
