Word 2000

this is strange -- peer to peer network win 98 where the files sit and win xp where word 2000 is running.  If I open a word document and click save as -- as long as I do NOT change the file name from what word creates as the "default" in the blank I can save to the network drive -- if I change the name at all I get "network file not accessable or may be password protected".  If I open a file on the network I can edit it and save it, but I cannot change the name to anything other than what word creates by default when the dialog pops up.  Any changes creates the same error.  IDEAS???? Thanks.

    The is weird because, I just ran across the exact same problem as you are having wtih our network.  Our network consits of Qty 3 - WIN98 machines 2 running Office 97 and the other running Office 2000, but we just added Qty 3 - WIN XP PRO SP2 machines running Office 2003 to our network and I have the exact same problem you describe saving in Word from our WIN XP machines to our WIN98 machines, not sure if you found the problem with yours, but maybe you can help.

    Thanks

    Try uninstalling Windows XP hotfix 885250 in Add/Remove programs and see if the problem goes away.
