Actually I didn't.  What permissions settings could be in AV software?
Our client is running Computer Associates eTrust InoculateIT 6.0 for
Small Business Server 2000.  I don't remember any permissions settings
in the software.  The MS article that Phil posted also referred to AV
software possibly interfering with the save function in Excel.
