The drive you are saving to doesn't have enough space for the temporary
file. Delete some files from the current drive or save to another drive or
to a floppy disk drive.

When you open a workbook, Excel creates temporary files in the folder in
which you save the file and in the folder from which you opened the
workbook. These temporary files are deleted when you close the file. Also,
Excel creates a copy of the file on the media when you save the file.

Hi Izzy,

Excel saves a file in the following steps: first it saves a copy of the
current to a temporary file name in the same location as the file you are
working on. It then deletes the original file and renames the temporary file
to the old file's name.

This means that in order to save a file to a disk share on a server in a
Windows NT Server environment, you must have at least Change-level
permission on both the share and NTFS directory you are saving to. Anything
less than this will cause the save to fail.
