Hi Gary, have you tried doing "save as" to create a duplicate file rather than just "save" to save to the existing file.
It might help if there is some problem with your existing file - it could also help if the problem is a locked folder - just select a different (unlocked) folder to save to. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
