Having Troubles Saving Files

I work at a K-12 school and we have our teachers save their files to there
own network folders on a file server. We have just rolled out Office 2007 on
most of our computers. Two teachers have come to me with the same problem.
When they go to save a new Office 2007 (or a 97-2003 document for that
matter) to their network folder an error message comes up saying that the
path (i.e. X:\teachername\folder\file.docx) cannot be found. This is
perplexing because it sounds like Office is trying to open the document
(which obviously doesn't exist yet since it hasn't been saved) instead of
saving it. If I try to Save As that same file to My Documents, the desktop or
even another network folder, it works without a hitch. It doesn't seem like a
permissions issue with the folder but I'm new to the networking thing so I
might be skipping over something. Thanks in advance for your help.

This is just a guess on my part but it sounds to me like your network
administrator hasn't given the two teachers in question proper permissions
for the folder that they are trying to save to. I ran into the same problem
on my home network and I, the administrator, hadn't given myself the proper
permissions.

Unforunately that's not the problem. For testing purposes, I gave the teacher full rights and still the same problems.
