​@dmenterprisewith your name ‘enterprise’ are you on a server? If someone else has this file open, it may not allow you to save. Instead, trysaving the document with a different name or in a different folder. Also, do you havefull access to the hard drives,files & folders permissions and external drive permissions.I would go into Adminstrator mode and see if you can enable it
