\n\tHi, so we've got a strange intermittent issue with some of our users where they cannot save an excel file on the network. We have 3 Windows 2008R2 file servers, replicating using peerlink, and people are accessing them through a DFS namespace. \n\t. \n\tWhen this issue occurs, which is not all the time, the user can literally create a brand new file on the network and try to save it, and he immediately gets the error noted above. What I'm saying here is that we know for a fact no one else is in these files and have eliminated that as a possible cause.
This step-by-step article explains how to use the AutoSave feature in Microsoft Excel 97, in Microsoft Excel 2000, and in Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition. Excel includes an AutoSave feature that periodically saves your file as you work on it. AutoSave does not save data in a separate file; therefore, the AutoSave feature does not prevent file corruption. However, AutoSave protects your data in the event that Excel unexpectedly quits. When you start Excel, AutoSave is not running by default.
