Running Word 2003 sp3. Word displays this error on any save or save as. It doesn’t matter if the save was issued via the OCX, automation, or in a macro. But word can save the save file to the same place when it is run on the desktop. I have checked all the forum/web solutions. The filename is 8.3. It is not a network drive or share. It is not a novel network. Norton is not installed. It is not a removable device. How can I get over this problem?
