issue saving a document to folder redirected Documents folder
Hi, I have one user, the president, who is having an issue with saving any of his documents. The error below, I am able to open up the file find from browsing through the computer of word to the Documents folder. But it won't save back to the same location. If I click ok on this error it comes up with the Save window showing all of the documents in that folder. This is a new problem, as he was able to do this fine about 3 weeks ago and previously before that for 6+ months. I am on SBS 2008 domain with Window 7 Pro machines and using folder redirection and all my other users are fine with the same policy. I have been through forums and tried checking permissions etc. on his redirected folder - nothing worked. I went through the support article about creating/repairing folder redirection but that didn't solve it. Here is the error - any help would be greatly appreciated. \\servername\m data\users\folder redirections\name\my documents\"any folder of his" cannot be found. Check our spelling, or try a different path. Thanks Gord

Checked and Personal is set to \\srv2008\m data\users\folderredirections\Raymond\My Documents - this path is the correct location I want to use. We are able to open up the files from the correct location and see but can't Save to the same location - this changed about 2 weeks ago and there was nothing I did on the system/server for permissions. thanks

From the user's account, can you drag and drop a file into the location? Can you create a test.txt file in the location? Can you create a new folder in the location? If no, then it may be a permissions problem. Check share permissions, NTFS permissions. Check read only attributes.

Hi. Check if those particular documents have read-only attributes or read-only permission. Go to their properties anc change their permission to FULL if necessary.Miguel Fra | Falcon IT Services, Miami, FL www.falconitservices.com | www.falconits.com | Blog

Very strange things happening. I had checked already the permissions and Read Only - but I went and checked again - those settings are ok. I was able to make a new Text document and edit and save that document again in both Documents and My Documents under Documents Library. But when I went to try with one of the original files, an excel document, I could open it but when saving the same error message came up.

Hi Leo, Still trying to figure out what changed/happened to stop the file from saving. only current/old files are affected. I tried a new text document create and open and save again ok. Regards Gord (Synca)
