Clicking Save Icon Stalls Computer

[BamaCynic]

I've got a computer that when clicking the "Save" icon to refresh the
information of an Excel file on an active network drive, Excel attempt to
save the newer information, and locks up. Next Alt-Ctrl-Del leads to a locked
computer that must be rebooted. Going through File>Save As doesn't seem to
cause a problem. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem....I don't believe that it is the
computer.....someone please help us.

Sounds like you have a Shared workbook.
I have seen sufficient problems reported with Shared workbooks that I
keep well clear of using them.

The problem could be related to a virus checker on the network server
getting hold of the file when your new copy is saved as a temporary
file and before it is renamed to the usual name.

Or it might be something completely different...
