    Runtime-error '1004' cannot access the file, depending on the computer

    Hi all,

    The context:
    I have an Excel file on a SharePoint server.
    People can open it, edit it, save it.
    When they save it, there is a macro to save a copy on the network (public drive), and replace the previous copy if it exists :

    The problem:
    If I do it from my computer, it always works.
    But for some people, I always get this error :

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    The file is saved on SharePoint but the copy is not saved.

    ----

    I did some researches but did not find anything.

    It seems like this problem is only happening with computers running XP Service Pack 2.
    (the working computers run SP3)

    Good news, I just found out the root cause: the folder's permissions !
    Although it was a public drive, I had to set more loose permissions.
