Ofc 97 files won't save onto networked PC

[Jack]

I'm on a small LAN (e.g., three PC's -- say Alpha, Bravo, & Charlie) and
something unusual has started to happen which has never happened before ---
I can't save a Word file to a networked PC.

I'm trying to save a MS Word document called "Jamie" from PC Charlie to PC
Bravo, specifically to a mapped drive (that is the C drive of PC Bravo, but
which shows up as Drive K on PC Charlie).

I am trying to save to a folder which is K:\Data\Word\General\

However, I get a MS Word pop-up window that says:
The folder 'K:\Data\Word\General\Jamie' isn't accessible. The folder may be
located on an unavailable volume or protected with a password.

NOTE: The C drive of PC Bravo is a shared drive, and has been that way for a
long time. So why is there a suddenly a difficulty saving to it?! This
problem is happening frequently!!!???

BTW, both PC's use MS Word 97. PC Bravo = Win 98SE, and PC Charlie = Win
XP.



Well, well -- an interesting discovery --

The problem exists with all my MS Office 97 programs - Word, Excel, Power
Point, but not with graphics programs like PhotoImpact, or with Notepad or
Wordpad.

Word and Excel will save if I let it use the default file name that is
suggested!!
If I try to use the name I want, no cigar. Power Point doesn't offer a
default file name.

No problem saving to a local folder. In order to get it to save on PC
Bravo, I could not choose any name other than the default suggested. No
luck at all with PowerPoint.

Re-check all persommissions. Something changed--by somebody or
something. (and probably unrelated to Office).

Rob,

Re-check all persommissions. Something changed--by somebody or

something. (and probably unrelated to Office).<

However, the SAVE works properly for all other programs except Office 97!!!
