Saving an Excel File w/ 1.2.9
This morning, I upgraded to ExpanDrive 1.2.9, and received the following message when trying to save an excel file (Office 2004),
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file '<location:filename>'.
And then, gave the following reasons which are pictured in the attachment.
I have never seen this message before upgrading to 1.2.9. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</location:filename>

Inappropriate?Is this a one-time bug, or does it happen every time you try to save the file? I only have Office 2008 to try at the moment, but I'm not seeing any problems. -
Inappropriate?It happens every time. I saved Numbers documents with no problems. Its just the Excel 2004 documents that are giving me this trouble. They are password protected if that makes any difference. -
Inappropriate?The password protection might have something to do with it, but you say they've always saved in version previous to 1.2.9, so I'm perplexed. I'm going to install Office 2004 soon and try this out. Is the password protection an Office feature, or something external? I've never used it before.

Inappropriate?I'm having the same issue with excel files and a similar one with word documents.
"There is a serious disk error on file Word Work file D_2"
If that helps.
the funny part is that we can save them to our desktop, then drag them over, but not save from within the applications. -
Inappropriate?PDXMan,
Is this also with Office 2004 and password protection on the files? -
Inappropriate?2004: Yes
Password Protection: No
Update: we did get a .txt file to save today, so we think its just a MS Office 2004 clashing with something. Sorry we're still using 2004, but the reviews of 2008 we're so bad we just couldn't bring ourselves to part with the money for the change to 2008. -
Inappropriate?What PDXMan said about saving to the desktop and then dragging over without any problems describes my situation as well. It is saving within the application that yields the error.

Inappropriate?Thanks for all the info. I'll look into this. It's probably a really easy fix. Every program, and apparently every version of every program, saves files using a different chain of events, so these kinds of bugs crop up from time to time. We can't test every version every time, obviously, so this is bound to happen. I'm sorry this time it was software you all use regularly.

Inappropriate?Is it only macvim? Have you tried connecting to other servers, or localhost?
We'll fix this as soon as we can isolate/replicate
Sorry!

Inappropriate?It is both, MacVim and Excel. It's connecting to a linux machine that has not changed - I have not much else to test with.
Finder works ok. -
Inappropriate?This is fixed, upgrade set in the next day or two!
-
Inappropriate?Coming soon, sorry for the delay
