Issues with Outlook 2007 and saving attachments to a network location

[sarah.laracy]

Hi My organisation have just upgraded a pilot group to Office
2007 Overall it is great, but our system administrator is having
problems with Outlook.

We are using Biztalk server 2006 and XP with SP2.

The following happens when trying to save atachments to the network
file share where the Biztalk services run.

(1) Outlook does not remember the last save location and goes back to
the last local default. This is not a problem when saving locally.

(2) He intermittently gets the message "Cannot save the attachment.
Cannot find the file. Verify that the filepath is correct". The file
does save, but with the .tmp extension and a randomly generated
computer file name. This causes issues with our database which relys
on correct file names.

These are repetative tasks, so are causing a major headache. If
anyone has any ideas, I am all ears!

Cheers
Sarah

We're drawing a blank too... which isn't hard when there is absolutely
nothing in this post that gives a clue as to what exactly is the problem
they are experiencing.

I thought I had replied to a previous users question...which was regarding outlook and saving an attachment from outlook (no exchange) to a mapped network drive. Each time we attempt to save the attachment and navigate to the mapped drive we recieve the following error:
"Cannot save the attachment. Cannot find the file. Verify that the filepath is correct".
Any thoughts, ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Melissa

The problem is that while you thougth you were replying, you didn't aquote
any of the context of the prior message, so we have no idea what the message
was. Stupidhead Cafe posts replies as new threads, so if you intend to use
is, ALWAYS include full details.
