"Microsoft Excel cannot access the file E:\Shared drives*******\F6F3D000. There are several possible reasons: The file name or path does not exist. The file is being used by another program. The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook".

    It is possible that the admin has not given sufficient editing rights to you for this shared drive folder. Make sure you have "Content Manager" access or higher.
