    Network Error Message when saving files in Office Programs

    @bro67 – Partial success today. Thanks for hanging in there with me. I decided that before I use the tools you suggested, I would try to uninstall and reinstall Office once more.

    This time Word now works properly when saving a file, at least the error isn’t kicked. However, if I try to browse one of the Save locations in the options menu the same error occurs. I have left them they way right now.

    However, Excel throws a fit immediately when saving a file. I don’t have time today to try your tools suggestions but will look into it tomorrow.

    Thanks

    How do I solve You don't have permission to save in this location?

    Hi there, I'm Erfan and I'll be happy to help.

    I can suggest you few steps that you can take to resolve this issue.

    Run the application as an administrator: Right-click on the application you're using to save the image (e.g., an image editor) and select "Run as administrator." This will give the application the necessary permissions to save files in restricted locations.

    Check folder permissions: Right-click on the folder where you're trying to save the image and select "Properties." Go to the "Security" tab and click on "Edit." Ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to write to the folder. If your account is not listed, click on "Add" to add your account and assign appropriate permissions.

    Take ownership of the folder: If you still can't save to the folder, you can try taking ownership of it. Right-click on the folder, select "Properties," go to the "Security" tab, and click on "Advanced." In the "Advanced Security Settings" window, click on the "Change" link next to the owner's name. Enter your user account name in the "Enter the object name to select" field and click "Check Names" to verify it. Once your account is selected, click "OK" to take ownership of the folder. After that, you should be able to modify the permissions as needed.

    Save to a different location: If all else fails, you can choose to save the image in a different folder, such as the Pictures folder as suggested in the error message. This folder typically has less restrictive permissions, and you may not encounter the same issue there.

    Please take the steps above and let me know how it goes.
