Excel will not Save using the Ctrl + S key or Clicking the Red cross and then selecting save, File + Save does work

Asked by datafocus in Microsoft Office Suite, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Spreadsheet Software

Tags: , ,

I have a client who is getting really frustrated with his copy of Microsoft Office 2003 Excel. when he uses Ctrl + S the computer "thinks" for a while and then prompts with document not saved. this is also the case if he tries to save using the red cross and selecting save when prompted. It does work however if he selects file and save. it does seem to be only an issue with one document.

the problem isnt replicated on any other PC's on the network who use the file. The document is saved directly to a network share.

i have tried, copying the document to the same location, renaming the origional copy and then renaming the copy to look as the origional. this worked for the first few uses then reverted back to the same behaviour.

i have installed office 2003 latest service pack. with the sameresults as above.

i did a repair and reinstall of office with the same results.

i know its a really small issue with the obvious answer of just dont use Ctrl + S  however unfortunatley for this user thats not an option.

any help would be greatly apriciated. thanksStart Free Trial
