Hi Robin,

First, I am really sorry this long delay to post again to this forum!

Well, this problem still exists, and I haven't found any solutions.
I have been test to uninstall Office 2007 package (word, excel, outlook,
everything), and then booted workstation, and installed Office 2007 back
to workstation. Everything else worked fine (word, excel,,,), but
Outlook cannot save attachment to network server. I also installed
Office 2007 SP2, but no difference. Outlook always says "Cannot save
attachement", when trying to save to network server. Outlook can save
attachment locally, example C-drive.

After that I uninstalled Outlook 2007, and left other Office programs
still in the workstation (word, excel,,,). Then I installed Outlook 2003
to the workstation, and tested to save attachment to network, but no
luck, even Outlook 2003 gives error that it cannot save the attachment.
Also installed Office 2003 SP3.

Workstation has Vista Business, and every Microsoft update-packages are
installed.

If someone has clue for this, I really, really need help.

Best Regards,
Pitti
