Question

File saving with Frame 10

I can not save a file to the same location that I got it from. I get error messages saying: can't open the .lck file and 2. that I don't have permission and yet I can save other file formats perfectly well. I can save the FM files to a different location, for example my desktop.

I installed some Windows updates earlier on. I'm using WinXP SP3.

I'd like to know if there is a known reason for this?

    You shouldn't be trying to open the .lck file - you should be opening the regular file and getting a message that someone is still working on it and if you know that no-one is, then you can override the warning. Your problem may also be that the file itself has gotten set to view-only within FM - you can reset it. Check the Help file or the forums for view-only - there are instructions out there for doing it (I just can't remember off the top of my head).

    Thanks Jeff. I'm not trying to open the .lck file but the message I get when I try to save says that the .lck file cannot be opened. I was working on the files in this book yesterday with no problems whatsoever so I'm puzzled to say the least.

    I will try looking for the reset to view only.

    I have noticed in Explorer that no .lck files are created when I open the main files as usually happens.

    Regards,

    Check your permissions to the folder – those might have changed. Also verify that you’ve still got the setting turned on in the FM Prefs screen for creating the .lck files.
