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

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 have an idea of what may be the cause of this problem.

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?

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

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 :)

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.

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.

Enno.TakeThisOut@officeformac.com, Apples.TakeThisOut@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.

Thanks,

Yep same problem too, had no problem with 2004, files are stored on a
server running Server 2003, .xls files in the shared folder have been
amended by all levels of Excel 2003, XP & 2000.

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.
