I am trying to "save as" in Word - Office 2000. I am saving to a folder on
our server. When I attempt to update a document and save as a different
name, I get the following message: "The folder 'I:\Amy's Machine\my
documents......' isn't accessible. The folder may be located in an
unavailable location, protected with a password, or the file name contains a
/ or \"

I am not using unacceptable symbols in my new file name. I can SAVE AS to
my hard drive. I cannot SAVE AS to ANY folder on the I drive. I can SAVE to
the I drive, but only if I do not change the file name. Others in my office
are not experiencing any difficulties with similar actions on the I drive. I
have not changed any word settings that I am aware of. I can open any file
I wish on the I drive.
