Excel Denying Access to Workbook that I Own

All,
This is on a new 15" ibook that had it's files and programs
transferred from an old 12" Powerbook. It's using Excel 2004 for Mac
(which, by the way, is telling me it's a test drive with 30 days
left.)
I have a 9.6MB workbook in a shared folder on a Windows server. I log
in as a valid user of the Windows domain, navigate to the workbook and
double-click it. Excel opens it. I pick an empty cell and enter some
text and hit Save. Excel's progress bar runs a bit and then stops and
tells me it cannot save the changes to the file, and the changes have
been saved to a file called, e.g. 24689000. I'm supposed to open that
file and re-name it.
If I close everything and try to open the original file Excel tells me
it can't access the read-only file. The Mac tells me I have read and
write permissions for the workbook and I have read and write
permissions for the share on the server. If I repeat this process with
24689000 then *it* will be saved to another file and I loose access to
it too, although I continue to have read and write access to it.
This workbook is password protected, and I know that too. What is
going on? Does Excel for Mac have a file size limit as small as 10MB?
Or is this surprising "test drive" state causing problems?
thx,
r
.
