Cannot save word 2007

[Madison]

Hi there,

I'm using word 2007 and try to save the file then I got message say "Cannot
save the file. 'test.docx' is not a valid short file name (maximum eight
characters, plus a three-character file extension). Type a valid file name,
and then save the file again.
This happened when I ran template with macro at network and using save as to
save document to a network. I never had this problem before upgrage to word
2007.

Please hlep.
Thanks.

Do you get the same symptoms if you try to save to your local HDD? What sort
of Network server are you using and is it patched up to date?

Hi Terry,

Thank you for your reply.

This happened (all templates and words at network) when I open template
which run some macro then the macro will try to Save As that document with
our standard name to some folder in the same network but different folder.
After that the macro still run to collect more information from users. The
interesting is that I created that template, I can run and Save As without
any problems but when one of our programer (with admin right as I am) can not
Save As. We do not have this problem with Word 2003.
We have a lot troubles with Word 2007 which held back our convertion to
Office 2007. We did allow Trusted Location on my network (not recommended)
which we did any way but still not working.
We do not have any troublems if users do manually Save As but when the macro
try to Save As then the error message show up. All our networks have up to
date patched. This problem happened with both Window XP and Vista machines.

Thank you for your advise.

Please post this into an appropriate Word VBA Newsgroup when the programmers
hang out. They will have a much better idea of the problem. Also, it would
help if you post the macro code too.
