word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error

[Julie]

Hello,
This is my first time posting on a message board. I usually find the
answers I need by reading through the KB or through the message
boards/news groups however, this problem has me stumped. Hope you can
help me!

I have a laptop computer running Windows XP Home Addtional and Office
2003.

I am running a Word Macro to save a .doc file to a public network
drive where I have full permission.

I get this error: "word cannot complete the save due to a file
permission error"

Here are the steps I've taken...

I've saved and closed the .doc file, then reopened and tried to save
to the network... still same error.

Tools=>Options=>Save changed the setting for
[x] Make local copy of files stored on Network or Removable Drive ....
still same error.

======

Here is the bit of code I'm running...

ChangeFileOpenDirectory "S:\"
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=xName, FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument,
LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True,
WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False,EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False,SaveNativePictureFormat:=False,
SaveFormsData:=False, SaveAsAOCELetter:=False

=====

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could it be that the file is open by another user? Even if they only have
read-only permissions, the network still locks the file against modification
and deletion.
