Re: save as error

Hi, Shayray.

Usually, when we hear this complaint, it's because the user is trying to
save the file to a "forbidden" location - such as C:\Program Files.

The Program Files folder never was intended to be used to store data, but
pre-Vista versions of Windows did not enforce this idea. Vista does.
You'll need to give yourself special permission to save files there.

If that is not the situation in your case, please tell us more about WHERE
you are trying to save the file.
