Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / May 2008Error Saving Excel 2008
I recently upgraded to Office 2008. Running the latest version of Leopard. When ever I try to save an Excel file. I get the following message(s): 'Expenditures08,xls' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from you list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted. The I hit Save and get this message: Document Saved successfully. Cannot reopen the saved document due to low memory. Please close the document. I know I have enough memory...2gigs PS...it is saving over a windows network > I recently upgraded to Office 2008. Running the latest version of Leopard. > When ever I try to save an Excel file. I get the following message(s): [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > PS...it is saving over a windows network Sounds more like a network problem. Do you see the same thing when you try to save locally? I did just save it locally and it worked fine...the problem is saving it to the network. Why would it be the network? I didn't have problems before upgrading to Office 2008. All applications I use, I save over to the network and no issues there. Also I have no issue with Word 2008 saving to the network...just Excel 2008 Thanks I have exactly the same problem. Saving the same file to the same location on the network using Excel 2004 works, Excel 2008 does not. > I did just save it locally and it worked fine...the problem is saving it to the network.

My computer is connected to the office network via Ethernet and Airport simultaneously and I get error messages when I try to save the document. After I unplugged the Ethernet cable and used Aiport only the problem disappeared. It's like Excel tries to locate the file using the "wrong" connection and thus cannot find the file. Excel 2004 did not have this problem. Can anyone else try to verify if my hypothesis is correct? -Bo I will keep i like this for On 2008-02-28 11.40, in article CCF9394D-FE8A-4F59-883A-C3DFBB752E8A@microsoft.com, "Bo Boivie" <Bo Boivie@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > I have exactly the same problem.

I use Ethernet NOT Airport and have the issue. Hello, I tried Ethernet only and then it fails. Very strange. There was a post today "Open and save .xls Format over the Network" where a user has the same problem but says it only happens with ".xls" files and not with the new ".xlsx" format. I haven't tried with xlsx myself to see if it works. What kind of files are you using? Bo > Good idea. Have you tried Ethernet only? I use Ethernet NOT Airport and have > the issue. BINGO....I think that's it. My files are .xls. Just did a SAVE AS of my file and saved it as a .xlsx. Made changes, saved it multiple times and no error messages. Try it on your end and see if it works for you. Let me know :) Yes, it works with the new format. Hope the guys at MS picks this up... > BINGO....I think that's it. My files are .xls.

Let me know :) We are aware of these reports and are investigating them now. Thanks everyone for your reports. All the information really helps.

Let me know :)  SignaturePat McMillan Macintosh Business Unit Microsoft Corp. This posting is provided ³AS IS² with no warranties, and confers no rights. Great...hope it gets fixed soon The error was not recovered with the update 12.0.1. I cannot save Excel files in the "xls" format in the network. This error should be recovered as soon as possible, since operating with old files is very pedantic. Come on Microsoft...this is inexcusable Enno@officeformac.com, Apples@officeformac.com and Bo, Will you help be a part of the solution by sending us these three things: 1. A copy of your System Profile. 2. The OS version the server is using. 3. The version of Excel that the .xls files were created in? You can send them directly to me. If anyone else reading this post is experiencing the same problem please send me the same information.

Yup, I'm seeing this problem too. Word seems okay. Limited to Excel 2008. Server is Windows 2000 Std. Same problem saving to a share on a Windows 2003 Std Server also. Excel 12.0.1 Thx. Tom > Enno@officeformac.com, Apples@officeformac.com and Bo, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > > Come on Microsoft...this is inexcusable I have Test all Format ".xls" all version ,".csv" and ".xlsx" it's only the ".xls" Format this problem has. All other formats can be saved in network without problems. But in my company we have very many files in ".xls" format, and we have to convert neither the time nor the desire everything. I hope this error is recovered by the next update. I have the same problem, too. But I think I have found something. When I mount the network device via smb (smb://fileserver/share) i have the problem. But, when I use afp (afp://fileserver/share) everything is fine. Same issue on the network. One thing i did find is that when you save an xlxs version and then open up the xl file, the problem seems to resolve its self. Also, i find that when i do get the issue and close, and then reopen it still saves but shows the error. Kind of frustrating, because everyone else in the office is using older version so i have to use .xl files if they want to read my data. Everything else is good except it doesnt search as well or as easy on Excell as it does on 2007 for PC Same problem here Excel 2008 12.0.1 on OSX 10.5.2, sharing many .xls files on a Windows SMB network to a samba server. Can't use the new format as we have to share too many docs with outside users without 2007-08. No errors when saving locally. Would really like to see this fixed, please.
