Ok, I have a very strange issue. I have a machine running Win7 Ultimate that I have setup using DeepFreeze which freezes the C: drive so that no changes can be made to it. I have set the Documents folder to a mapped drive letter (I:\My Documents)
and set the folder to be available offline.
Here is what I've discovered...
Here is what I've discovered...
- If I have a .XLS file with data in it and open the file, make a change and save the file, once I reboot, the file is now 0 bytes and empty!
- If I open a .XLSX file and do a "Save As" and make the type .XLS, all is fine initially even after reboot.
- If I then make a change to the .XLS file from step 2, once I reboot, all the changes are gone!
- If I only work with .XLSX files, I have no issues at all. I can open, make changes, save and all is fine.
Seeing as this is only an issue with .XLS files (not .XLSX), I don't believe there is any permission issue with the share, but I still made the user owner and granted all permissions to the share to this user anyway.
Also, I get no error messages at all on the save and it appears the file has been saved with no issue.
The machine is brand new and I have installed all Windows and Office updates available.
Does anyone have any idea of what's going on here?
