Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
I can't save files to existing folders... can't even do a "save as"... the
EXCEL 2003 Program gets to a "Not Responding" state and I have to crash it. I was able to save a file to the "My Documents" folder. The same thing happened to my Word Program. This all happened after I did the latest security update to the XP program. I "removed" and then reinstalled the Office 2003 program but the problem still exists.

Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
Hi David:
You can remove the offending update from Add/Remove Programs, where it shows as "Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531)". Make sure the "show updates" box at the top is ticked or you won't see hotfixes in the list. -- Carol A.

Doesn't this exposure you to security problems. And also, could this cause
additional problems? Why can't Microsoft fix this.

Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
I had the very same problem - after a day and a half of trying to figure out
what was wrong I stumbled onto this forum. I tried the fix suggested and now Word and Excel save to folders. Thanks for the help - but no Thanks to Microsoft for the lost time and effort of the last two days. "Carol" wrote: Well Said Suzanne! I wonder if it helped him?? -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "Suzanne S.

Well, you can read the KB article and assess the danger for yourself. Did
you really expect to get an answer for all of the half a dozen or more times you posted this question? -- Suzanne S.

Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
I expected that there was likely no fix, but I would ask anyways, being that
this is not my area of expertise. The worst that I thought could happen that I would find no answer. Obviously you have revealed that I underestimated the worst. Instead I would encounter a snotty, arrogant individual who really had no value added information, but was preoccupied with showing off how smart they could make themselves seem even at the expense of denigrating others.
