Office 2007 and OS X Server - Save Issues

Tags: excel, 2007, office, server, os
I run a small network (2 servers, 7 clients). Our file server is running OS X Server 10.4.8; it is the only Mac in the network. The clients are all running WinXP SP2, and I have recently begun to upgrade the MS Office suites to 2007. Everything has worked fine for a long time.

Two computers have been upgraded thus far, and they are both having issues saving excel documents. I get a "Document not saved." error. The number of times a new excel file is saved is consistent per computer. (5 times on one and 4 times on the other) The format of the file does not matter. It is reproducible with txt, html, xls, and xlsx.

The problem also happens with Word, though I it seems to take one less save attempt before the error occurs.

This was not an error before Office 2007, and after talking to Microsoft for a few days (who was very helpful), I think this problem has something to do with OS X or SAMBA. The problem is not reproducible when I use our Windows server.

Any help would be appreciated.

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution.
