    Excel says Disk full - when it is not

    I am working with spreadsheets of a larger size and now all of a suddent when i try to save to our network server i get an error Disk Full (the server has zillions of mb of space). If i save to my C drive its saves ok. If I log into the server on a different PC again all works ok, so must be something in Excel on my desktop.

    Any help appreciated,

    I've seen that problem only occasionally. Not enough to isolate the exact cause....but, every time it was somehow related to a network problem. (server crashed, server unexpectedly goes off-line, permissions file hiccupped, whatever)

    Usually, logging off then logging back on cleared up the issue.
    (But, first save the file anyplace you can.)

    I hope that helps.
