I am using photoshop cs and have been having trouble saving files to our network drives. The error msg I keep getting is "Unable to save file (file name). It is in use or has been left open." or something like that. I can save the file to my hard drive and work on it from there. I am also having .tmp files show up in the folder that the file that I was working on is in. Photoshop CS is the only app I’m having this problem with.

Anybody with any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated.

not sure about the rest of it, but all you will ever hear is. PS is not designed to work across networks.

I know this doesnt help. and probably isnt a good answer, just thought i would say it before any one else did.

Billy,

As TDO has pointed out, the advice is always to save to the local HDD and then COPY across the network.

The only way saving to a network drive is supported is using Version Cue. The problem you are seeing is quite common with Netware servers and is virtually always a network problem. Sometimes replacing the Netware client with the Microsoft Client for Netware fixes the bug.

Thanks for the info guys. The funny thing is, I’ve been running photoshop on this network for the last 6 years with no problems. I switched to photoshop cs about a month ago and this save error has just shown up in the past 2-3 weeks. It’s very odd and annoying since the first time it happened I lost a file that I’d spent a lot of time on. Hopefully I’ll be able to work around it if it can’t be solved.
