how do you check?
if you right-click on the folder, go to Security tab, then select the user and click on edit, then you will see a button "Advanced". If you click on it, you will see more permissions for that user. they might conflict with Create/Write permissions. let me know what you see in Advanced

Check what? I do not understand?
how do you check permissions for the user? Where did you see that the user has Create/Write permissions set?
What do you see if you right-click on the folder, select Security tab and click on "Advanced"?

Again I only want the user to be able to read and save the file in the folder, not create files in the folder (no save as in the folder).
Based on the screenshot you have attached, create files/write data is not checked. You need to check it to enable the user to update and save the file - write data permission

But I don't want to allow them to create files.
