File and Folder Permissions

[Guest Brandon]

Hi,

 

Running Windows Server 2003 SP2. Have problem with users saving files to a

network share. When they click save as in Excel, it says that the file

already exists (which it does not) then says that the folder is marked as

read only (again, which it is not). The file is created with a 0Kb size.

 

Share permissions are set to full control, and folder permissions are as

follows:

read, write and execute.

 

I tried using notepad to do the same thing, and works like a charm, even

though it also says that the file already exests, but allows you to save the

file with the data in it.

 

What am I missing here?

 

Thank you!

Hello Brandon,

 

What happens when they copy the file to the location? Does it work?

 

Best regards

Thanks for the reply!

 

Copy works fine, no problems. Users can edit files and save them no problem.

The issue is only when they try and create a new file in the location

through excel.

The reason for me setting permissions this way is to dissalow users to

delete files.
