Hi all, we have a strange problem on our new SharePoint environment, when saving a document (Word 2007) which was created by choosing "new" in a document library the default save location does not point to the library but to the My Documents folder (local) instead. This is done from a Windows 7 machine with office 2007. Any idea's? I can't find any documentation about the problem or a solution within CA or Word. Thanks

Hi there, Is this happening to all users? Have you tried resetting the profile for a user and trying again? Also, try this article that may be of interest - relates to IE7 and printer drivers may cause the same issue: http://blogs.msdn.com/askie/archive/2009/02/15/issue-when-attempting-to-save-documents-on-a-sharepoint-server-using-ie7.aspx Hope this helps Cheers Geoff

I followed the url and found out that I only have one copy of PSAPI.DLL which is located in the right directory. I decided to delete all my printers (XPS Writer and FAX) and after I did that the save location pointed to the right SP libraries! Also noticed that "Show in Explorer view" didnt work before, which also works now.My colleague installed the "Desktop Experience"-feature on the server and the problems seems to be solved now...Microsoft works in mysterious ways

Hm, it seems that the problem returned, not on my machine though but on my colleagues machine... going to investigate it further.

I am having this same issue. It initially started on one machine, then the user move another machine and it worked ... for a while. Now the same thing has happened on the new machine. Did you find a solution for this? Some other issues that have started happening at the same time which could be related (unless it is a HUGE coincidence): 1. From a Document Library, click New. This opens the configured Word template. Type in some text and click the Save button. The Save As dialogue appears, but the "Save In:" directory is "My Documents". This is the issue described above. A follow on from this is if I manually enter the Sharepoint address into the FIlename field, then I get the following error: "Cannot find the URL 'https://sharepoint.domain.com.au'" Yet, I can enter this into IE and it goes straight there. 2. If I edit an existing file in Word, I can save it ok, but when I close the document, it prompts be to check it in (Which is normal) but when I say yes and fill in the Check in details, it gives the following error: "There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost. (https://sharepoint.domain.com.au/it/sha)" You can see above that the directory in the path finishes with /it/sha. This should be /it/sharedev/documents/ 3. The site will let me upload a document and check it in without issue. Did you notice any of these other issues too, Erik? EDIT: Forgot to add that I this was done under two logins on two different machines (XP SP3 and Office 2007 SP2). The second user was a site administrator, so permissions should not be an issue.
