question:

when saving to a network drive i get the following error: "file name" cannot be found. Check your spelling, or try a different path."

we are using Win7, office 2010 and Win2008 Sever.

could someone help me?

Hi,

It sounds like a permission issue. Do you have the full access permissions(Read,Wirte and Modify) of the shared folder?

Make sure Office 2010 SP1 has been patched and all the programs has been up to date.

Best regards,

We are facing the same exact problem but let me give more details to our issue that we are facing. Few users of ours use to access a shared drive (mapped on their computers) and open any file without any problem. Now, when they try to open a file they are getting the error message "u:\shared\file.ext cannot be found. Check your spelling, or try a different path". After doing some investigation it seems that this error is really saying that someone has the file open. Users got this error message only if the file is opened by another user. They will be able to open it as soon as the other user closes it. It's suppose to give a notification of "read only" rather than giving this error message "file name" cannot be found. Check your spelling, or try a different path". 

If we manually browse to the path and open the file which is already opened by another user we get the error message we expect to see "read only" message. It's just that when we go from a mapped path the error is "u:\shared\file.ext cannot be found. Check your spelling, or try a different path" which is not a true error. This is related to office we have already tested that out but have not been able to fix. Please advise.
