Yes, folder redirection and offline files is enabled.  I'll add that to the to 
do list.  I'll keep the drivers and CU updated as well.

Do you have Offline Files enabled by any chance?  If you do, try to disable 
that to see if it helps.

Other general stuff you may have already done just in case: try to install any 
CUs for Excel and Windows and update NIC drivers.

Subject: [NTSysADM] weird access denied issue

I have a client, Windows Server 2008 R2 with Windows 7 workstations.  One user 
seems to be getting access denied errors when opening certain LOB programs that 
access a DB on the file server.  She acknowledges the access denied error and 
opens the program again with no issues.  She got an "excel cannot access 
"document name". The document may be read-only or encrypted" when she is 
creator with full access to that document.  No encryption is set.

She will get similar issues with different programs and I cannot find any 
solutions.  I was thinking a bad network connectivity issue but running pings 
from the server to the workstation is results in 0% of lost packets.  Other 
users have complained about this issue but only 1 or 2 times in the past 6 
months where this user gets these errors almost 2-3 times per week.

I'm desperate for suggestions.  I can wipe the PC but I'm not sure that will 
resolve the issue.  I can create a new user in AD but doubt that will resolve 
anything either.

TIA,

Jimmy
