Most office apps need to put a temp file in the location where the file is saved/opened--I can't tell from your description if these are the same locations. If not, do you know where that is, and is there any issue with temp files being blocked or storage limits in that spot?
You might also try resetting the default templates, in case something is wrong there: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/reset-workbook-and-worksheet-settings-HP005202207.aspx -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 5:59 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Excel 2010 problem - can't quite figure it out Gentles, I'm pretty sure I've narrowed this down, but can't quite find the remedy... Excel 2010 only - not the rest of the suite. Win7 Enterprise. User can open and manipulate spreadsheets, save them, whatever. User can create a blank new Excel document on the desktop, and use that with no problems. However, the user cannot open Excel with a blank document, enter data/formulas/whatever, and then either do a save or a save as. No dialog box pops up - just.... Nothing. The only way to get out of the spreadsheet is to close the fresh document and no save changes. Annoying, but not critical, of course. It's limited to the profile on this machine - I can log in as another user and have no problems with it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office, with a reboot in between, and let the machine patch itself from WSUS - same behavior before and after patching. I've deleted all of the temp files I can find, and the files/directories under her AppData Office and Excel directories, to no avail. So, I'm thinking it's something in the registry, but I can't sniff it out. Google was being obstinate today, too. Anyone run into this scenario?
