With certain documents I get the following problem:

A certain Word document has been stored on a network drive (G:\). I am able
to open the Word document, edit it, but when I want to "save as..." there
won't appear a window where I can choose a location at all, resulting in not
being able to save the document as a new version.
- I have modify permissions on this network folder.
- When I copy these Word documents to my C:\Temp, I am able to open them and
the "Save as..." function works normally.
- When I copy these Word documents to another network drive (Q:\), I am able
to open them and the "Save as..." function works normally.
- When I create a new Word document in the network folder (G:\), I don't have
this problem, only with certain excisting documents!

Has anybody an idea what's the cause of this behaviour?

Version of Word? Version of Windows on your computer? Version
of Windows on G:\? Version of Windows on Q:\? If the article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=895900 "You cannot save a file
from your Windows XP-based or Windows 2000-based computer to a
shared folder on a file server" applies to your situation, then
try uninstalling Windows update KB885250 "MS05-011: Vulnerability
in server message block could allow remote code execution" in
Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs.

- Word 2000
- Client: Winows XP Pro
- Servers (G:\ and Q:\) Filers with Ontap OS

The KB that you are linking to seams different to me.
I don't get an error message at all!
The problem is that when I try to save the document as... (File - Save as...),
there won't appear a window where I can choose the location.
Word doesn't hang or produces an error.
