hi sabir,

to set share permission of folder contains office document distinctive, because if save excel document to share directory, the file permissions must set read, write, , delete (rwd), , directory permissions must set read , write (rw), behavior design.

a similar discussion reference:

how can users on network save excel files without delete permissions?

in summary, if want allow users have permission modify , save office document, need to assgin the delete permission users.

if worry deleting behavior uncontrollable in scenario, workaround, think need backup these files.

in addition, please refer article understand ntfs permission:

windows ntfs permissions required when run word on ntfs partition has windows 2000, windows xp professional, windows server 2003, or windows vista installed

if there else regarding issue, please feel free post back.

best regards,
