Hi

I have Vista business, running Office 2007 Pro. I connect to a shared
network drive via a wireless connection. The drive is a Chronos Lan-Disk
drive, connected to the wireless router via standard utp cable.

From the network drive, I am able to open documents and work on them, but I
am unable to save back to the drive.

If I am saving a new file to the network drive, the file that I am trying to
save gets created as a 0kb file and then I get asked repeatedly to save the
file, I end up saving the file to local disk and then use windows explorer
to copy and paste the file to the drive.

If I have opened an existing document on the drive and then want to save it,
the file size gets reset to 0kb and I get an error message saying that the
file has not been saved and I once again save it to the local drive and then
copy and paste it to the server drive.

I am not sure if this is an Office problem, a Vista problem or a hardware
problem (firmware on the drive, I am using the latest firmware available
though.)

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Ihar

It sounds like the read/write permissions aren't correct on the Chronos
for the Vista user. If it is running a version of *nix (as so many NAS
are) then you might need to look at its configuration. I'd contact the
Chronos tech support people as the next step in troubleshooting.

Thanks Stevo, it is a nice place to keep a look out for a solution, but
there is not one yet.

Just ran a test, get the same problem when using a shared drive on an XP Pro
machine

So now I don't think it is the Chronos Drive share settings.

I have the exact same issue and lost a day of work trying to get this
working. I did a system restore on a new hp pavilion 9225us and since then I
cannot save either. I reset my networks, changed workgroup and network names
etc. and all other computers except my Vista 64 ultimate can save to the
server. I also use photoshop and get the same error so it must not be limited
to just microsoft word or excel.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Malke, no there are no drive quotas involved

Troy, yes it is a wireless network, I am linked via wireless to the router,
the drive in question is a LAN Drive and is hardwired to the router.
