Doing Save As to Network Drive

I have Office 2008 for the Mac. Our servers are all Windows servers. I have some alias icons set up on my desktop for some spreadsheet files that live on these servers. If I click on the icon, Excel opens and I can edit the document and save it back to the same spot. However, if I want to do a Save As my network folder is not an available item in the list and I don't see any way to browse to it. Is there a way to do this?
Thanx...Jon

Am using a program called Default Folder X to handle this issue.

  • Windows 8.1 windows explorer does not connect to network drives

    I have a network drive (SAN) on my local network which everytime I re-install windows I cannot connect to it anymore.
    Last time I fixed this issue it was just a single checkbox(or radio button) but I cannot remember where it was and what was it called.
    I am getting error
    "Error Code: 0x800704b3
    The network path was either typed incorrectly, does not exists. or the network provider is not
    currently available. Please try retyping the path or contact your network administrator."
    Which none of them are true and by the way, I am the network administrator in my home network and sorry that I cannot contact myself (ain't sometimes Microsoft error messages as stupid as their developers?)
    1- I can connect to internet and browse web and receive mail too. so my network connection is working perfectly.
    2- I can ping my device (using both its IP and name). I can see an IP assigned to my device.
    3- I can browse my device and even access its management service using firefox (I don't have internet explorer because I removed it)
    4- I have File and printer sharing for microsoft network (in ethernet properties) installed and activated too.
    5- windows installation is new so nothing is changed in it.
    6- my firewall is not blocking the access to device either (If I disable it still cannot see the network drive)
    7- Network and sharing center is empty!
    8- In IPv4 advanced properties Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled too (which I think that was what fixed it last time)
    9- there is no error event is listed in event viewer.
    What is this problem that I have to fix every single time I install windows 8.1 I have to fix?

    Hi Bob,
    It seems like your network is working properly. So If you make sure your network path is correct, let us check other settings for mapping network drives.
    Check if the issue persists under safe mode and make sure that “TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper” in service.mcs is running.
    Make sure your computer name is unique and using NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
    The computer name could be either a Netbios name or a DNS name. so if one doesn’t work check the other one.
    You also could try the net use command, to see if it might return additional infomation

  • SQL Developer does not recognize my network drive

    I have to cut and paste the full path including the document name in order to pull up a file from my network drive.  Same issue if I try to save a new document to my network drive.
    This is all I see when trying to open a document:
    However, you can see I have lots of drives mapped:

    Found the issue.  Right Clicked on the shortcut I was using to run SQL Developer, chose Properties, clicked on the Compatibility tab, and unchecked 'Run this program as an administrator' under Privilege Level.

    We use NFS, which is similar to CIFS as we are Linux shop.
    Works flawlessly..
    Did you check the permissions on your installation compared to your server as they are managed separately?

  • Can't auto save to a network drive

    I have two computers set up in gigabit network usinf premiere cs3 to edit with.  Premiere won't auto save to the network that I the project is stored to, I have to save as a new file.  Any thoughts?

    You're not the first to have an issue with Premiere on a network.  Best recommendation is to simply not use one.

  • Does TM backup FROM network drives ?

    TM seems to not backup mounted drives by default.
    Is there any tip to make TM backups networking drives?

    there are many other good backup tools besides Time machine. some will back up remote drives. I think CCCloner will for example. also check retrospect and Synchronize Pro X and Chronosync.

  • Save Dialog - network drives

    Hi,
    For some time I have had an issues using the Adobe "Save as" Dialog in Photoshop CS3.  If I switch to use this dialog the "save" button is greyed out when I am trying to save to a network drive (a ReadyNAS box).  If I change to the OS dialog it is not greyed out and the save works fine.  Is this a feature or a bug or incorrect configuration?  Not least does it happen to anyone else?

    I'm not seeing that behavior with Photoshop CS3.  I just tried it on a Vista x64 test system.
    Photoshop in general does not like you to use network drives.  They really want you to save the file locally, then copy it to/from network resources yourself.  The thinking seems to be that if you work from a share and keep your master files there, the chance of you losing your work is MUCH greater than if you're saving to a hard drive.  That said, I've never had a problem saving directly to a share.
    Have you tried pressing the button anyway?
    Do you have permissions to write files to the folder you're pointing to?

  • Photoshop CC (2014) cannot see network drives

    I work on a PC running Windows 8.1 x64. Ever since the a Photoshop CC (2014) update a couple of months ago, my network drives are not directly accessible. I have two network drives, mapped as drives X: and Y:. If I work in Lightroom on a file that resides on my network drives and send it to Photoshop for further work, the file will not open in Photoshop. Additionally, I cannot drag-and-drop a file from Windows Explorer into Photoshop (from any drive). I get the circle with the slash through it showing it can't be done. And finally, Bridge, when I'm working in Photoshop CC (2014) cannot open a network drive image in Photoshop.If it is launched after Photoshop, it does not show the network drives. If it is launched before Photoshop, it shows the mapped drives, as I stated before, can't open a file into Photoshop.
    Now for the mind blower. NONE of these things are an issue if I run the "older" Photoshop CC (i.e. - NOT the 2014), which fortunately, I still have on my system.
    Thoughts or help? Thank you.

    Are you able to see the shared folder on the router ? If yes then, Once the set-up page appear, click Storage > Media Server and Enable the UPnP Media Server. Specify Folder to Scan button lets you select content to add to the database of the Router's Media Server. Once you click this button the Media Folder screen appears.Now Check the option Auto-scan click on Scan All and Click on Save Settings.
    Now, On your computer go to My Network Places and you will able to see the shared files and folders. 

  • Unavailable mapped network drive hangs file explorer

    I am using Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) and I have this problem from beginning.
    I have mapped two network drives, one is my home NAS and second is shared network storage in our office.
    When I open some application which is loading directories (XnView for example) in my computer OR I want open some file in any application
    OR, especially, I want to save some new document by "Save as" button (in Notepad, MS Word for example), application hangs for about 30 seconds and I can not work with it. Other applications are working fine during this freeze.
    The problem occurs when I am at home and the network storage in office is not available (or I am in the office and home NAS is not available of course), but Windows
    doesn't show unavailable drive as disconnected.
    When I connect my computer to the office VPN (and both network storages are available) OR I unmap unavailable network drive, everything works perfectly... but it is really not comfortable.
    I have tried stop Indexing and disable Windows Defender as I read on some forums but without any solution.
    Any hints how to solve this issue?

    This isn't one I've seen personally, and I can really test whether this would work, however...
    On each of your network drives, try selecting something (doesn't matter what, but probably something small is better), right clicking on the folder and selecting "Always available offline" so your machine maintains a local copy of that information.
    My logic being, by doing that on both network drives, each of them contains some information which is available regardless of the resource itself being visible. In this situation Windows will continue to show those network drives as available and accessible,
    even if you're no longer connected to either network. Since those folders are available the network drives will also be available, and if you're no connected to the resource itself, Windows will still see that drive as connected, will still be able to list
    it, and the apps you're seeing this issue with should no longer have any problems (provided they're not trying to access information on one of those drives that isn't available obviously!).

  • Network Drives not showing

    Hello,
    I have a outlook 2013 and windows 8, network drivers are showing on my computer.
    However, when i try to attach file the insert file dialog box does not show the network drive.
    For God, and Country.

    Please try to delete and re-create the network driver and then try again.
    This will usually fix the issue.

  • I just installed OS10.5.8 and now I can't access my network drive

    I could access it directly by going to the network window, then clicking on READYSHARE, which is the Netgear network drive with a direct USB connection, when I was running  10.4.11, but now that I have upgraded to 10.5.8, it does not show the network drive at all, when I open the network window in the finder.

    that drive is not listed under USB, but I would not think it would be, since it is connected by USB to the router, not the computer. The router is connected via Ethernet. So I would think I need to find the drive in the system profiler under Network, then maybe Volumes?  I am a bit lost trying to find the drive and connect to it...

  • Working with iTunes Music Folder locations on a network drive in Vista

    I am having challenges assigning the "iTunes music folder location" to a network drive in Vista (using iTunes v.7.3). When I go to Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General, and choose change to assign the path, the Networks folder comes up, but does not display any network drives or expand out when I select it. Right clicking does let me explore the drives and see them so the ntwork is good. I did have the same problem in Windows XP, but since Windows XP created those automatic shortcuts to drives, I could assign them and that worked.
    A quick solution is to map a network drive and then select that drive, but since my computer is a notebook and off my home LAN frequently, the mapped drive really slows the boot process.
    Can't seem to find anything to change in the registry.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there anyone who can offer any suggestion to smooth this issue for me?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the feedback, but with the iPhone (I use the calendar feature a lot), synchronising just became a very common event, and perpetual re-connecting will drive me insane.
    I guess I will just live with what we have until the folks at Apple figure it out;

  • Acrobat 9 Standard - Using Network Drives

    Three technical writers here at work use Acrobat 9.1.1 Standard. We all work/edit/save/publish on network drives. We are all experiencing unexplainable crashes, including error messages such as, "This document has been corrupted and cannot be repaired" (or something to that effect). We are beginning to wonder if we should have purchased Professional instead of Standard. Is there any evidence to support the suspicion that Professional is more "network-compatible" than Standard?

    Many folks have had problems with network drives. When they work they seem to do fine, but some seem to be broken. As I recall, it may be related to a specific network. The simplest what is to save locally and then copy the files to the network.

  • RoboHelp 8 runs slow when using network drive...

    I have several users at my business that have upgraded from RoboHelp X5 to RoboHelp 8. They are reporting that when they work on projects which are housed on a network drive, RohoHelp performs very slowly (which never seemed to happen before with X5). I have read on several forums that RoboHelp should only be used with projects that are on the local drive, but I cannot find any official recommendation from Adobe about this, nor have I found any explanation as to why the network drive doesn't work well. Has Adobe every officially commented on this, and does anyone know why network drive performance is so lousy? Is there anything that can be done to allow my users to keep on utilizing their network drive without the poor performance? Thanks in advance for any help you folks can provide, I am stumped.

    Hi, and welcome, Robo_Newbie
    You're about to become Robo_Oldie real quick
    Your RoboHelp projects MUST live on a local drive. You can archive them on a network, but NEVER actually open and edit while they are on the network.
    The two reasons most people incorrectly assume they should be on the network is because you want to share with other authors and you want to back them up in case your hard drive crashes. Those are valid reasons, but it doesn't work because the .CPD (an Access database cache file) typically becomes corrupted - not to mention the perfomance issues related to LAN latency.
    So what most of us do is to either use the free RoboSource Control that comes with RoboHelp or to work out a manual routine of copying your current work to a LAN for safekeeping and establishing a routine with the other authors on who will work on what, when.
    Sorry to break the bad news. That's the reality.
