You receive an "Incorrect function" error message when you try to save a file from an Office program to a CD-RW or a DVD/CD-RW drive
When you try to save a file in that is from one of the programs that are listed in the "Applies to" section to a CD-RW or a DVD/CD-RW drive, the file is not saved. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
When you click
OK in the error message, you receive the following error message:
You do not have access to the folder 'drive:\'. See your administrator for access to this folder.
This behavior occurs because Microsoft Office programs do not use the CD-ROM writing function that is available in some Microsoft Windows operating systems.
To work around this behavior, install a third-party CD-ROM recording program. A third-party CD-ROM program lets the CD-ROM writing function that is available in Windows XP work with your Office program.
Note Not all third-party CD-ROM recording programs let you save a file from an Office program directly to a CD-RW or a DVD/CD-RW drive. In this case, you must save the file to the hard disk drive, and then use the CD-ROM recording program to burn the file to a CD-RW or a DVD/CD-RW drive.
For more information about how to do this with your third-party CD-ROM recording program, look at the documentation for the program.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
