New info to add:
If I access the share as \\corpsrv\accounting, I can write to the files. If I
access it via its drive letter I cannot. I've just mapped it via the
command:
net use m: \\corpsrv\accounting
Also it is not just Excel. I've tried to open a text file with Notepad and I
get the same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
