After renaming document getting folder not accessible

D

DAB

Hi,

We have Word 2000 and Win XP home. After renaming a Word or excel document
and attempting to save on a network shared folderI get the error message -
The folder \\xxxxx isn't accessible. The folder may be located on an
unavailable volume or protected with a password.

The folder is available and is not protected.
This fault seemed to start suddenly a week ago with no apparent cause.
Wordpad can save to the same folder without error.

I have tried the following:
Repair Word
Reinstall Word
Deleting the data and option keys in the registry
Mapping the path to a drive letter
Removing the Norton AV 2004 office plug-in
Full AV scan with up to date definitions.

Office does allow a file to be renamed when saving to the 'my documents'
folder on the local hard drive.

I have used both the 'list' view and our usual 'details' view in the save as
dialog box.

Any ideas will be appreciated

Thanks
Darren
