Can not “Save As” to a network drive using Word 2007

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Issue 1
You receive a “Document not saved” error message when you try to use a Microsoft Office application to save a document to the remote server.

Issue 2
You cannot use the built-in backup utility to save backup files to the remote server. For example, you cannot save backup files to the remote server when you use NTBackup in Windows XP or in Windows Server 2003.

Issue 3
The Security tab is missing when you examine the property of a folder on the remote server. Therefore, you cannot view or change the permission settings of folders on the remote server.

If you uninstall update KB980232 it resolves the issue but there is also a hotfix available. To resolve and for further info visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458
