Ok, I have a Windows 10 HP Laptop that I have on a network. Connected to network no problems. Mapped the shared drive, again no problem. Opened up shared drive and I can see all files on the mapped shared drive all day long. I go to open an excel spreadsheet, or word document, or pdf file, will not open. But I can take that same file, save it on the local drive and I can open, edit, save..etc. This is driving me insane, cannot figure out what is happening here. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, how do you resolve?

Can you write a file to the share in question? Do you have execution permission for that shared folder and its files?

I can see computer on the network and can access it. Vice Versa. Can see and open all file folders on server, including subfolders. Just cannot open the file itself
