I have a very similar problem.
We used to have desktop licenses for SAS/PC, and recently moved to a server solution (also PC). And its giving us endless grief. Desktop setups are just so much simpler to work with. We can't import/export files to/from network drives, even with the network drives mapped.
After a while we figured out that we can import, if you use the import step in EG, but not have any code accociated with it. Similarly we can export excel files to the network, but we can't export SAS data files (.sas7bdat) files to the network wit this method. It keeps on giving the error "Unable to export to xxxxxx.sas7bdat. Please ensure the target file is not already open within your project. If so, please close the file and try again."
I'd appreciate it if anyone has any insights...
