Mapped folders

Hi,

I’m having this weird problem with windows vista or maybe is not Vista….
I have a couple of users with Windows Vista Business computers and they have “My Documents” mapped to a network share. They can open a document (excel, word) but after they modify it and try to “save as” or just save it they get the following message:

\servershareusernamefile cannot be found. Check your spelling, or try a different path.

Sometimes it goes through but when you try to open the file you get “Access Denied”
If I copy and paste the document to the desktop I can modify it and move it back with no problems.

It works fine with notepad documents, though….

It’s a Windows 2003 Environment with no romming profiles or fancy GPO’s, offline file disabled, the two Windows Vista Computers have office 2007.

I recreate one of the accounts in AD, it didn’t work.
I deleted the local profile on the Vista computer, it didn’t work.
I reinstalled Vista (with all updates), it didn’t work.
Checked share and NTFS permissions on the share:
-domain users have full control on the share
-user has full NTFS permision on their folders
Gave that user Admin Privileges, just for testing purpose, it didn’t work.
Moved that particular share to a different server, still nothing.
UAC is turned off, I tried with UAC turned on, same thing.

I created a share on my Windows XP laptop and everything works just fine.

Any ideas are welcome!
Thank you.

F.
