Error Save/Delete File (window)

RE: Error Save/Deleting File (window)

I move WORD documents back in forth between my home and work computer using 3.5 disks. Many times, I’ll make changes, and often get the message below...

“Cannot(save)delete xxx [file name]: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use.”

The disk is neither full or write-protected.

Here’s the issue. The only way I’ve found to be able to resave a document and/or delete files off the 3.5 disk is to do a restart of the computer. There’s an easier way, right?

I’ve closed WORD, but still get the Error Save/Deleting File window. I’ve made sure all previously opened documents are closed, but I still get the error notice. I’ve removed the 3.5 disk and reinserted it. Still, I can’t save the document nor delete a file on the 3.5 disk.

Thanks!

I don't know what version(s) of Word you're using or what OS's are involved, but see if any of these Troubleshooting Word 6.x (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q107/1/44.asp) suggestions help. Also, if you're running NT at work or home it could be a permissions issue. You might also try searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/c.asp?fr=0&SD=GN&LN=EN-US) under your specific versions.

Hope this helps!
