Re: FLASH: Failed to save document error?

[MPL Christopher Jester]

Hello all,

I don't see how this can be a problem I save to network servers all the time. 

What I would suggest is, if it's a pre existing file I would make sure the 

file wasn't read only. Also you may try renaming the file then trying to save 

it. If the problem lies with saving files period, then I would check your free 

space, also make sure nothings locking the drive or that you don't have a 

virus. You may also try uninstalling the application then going and deleting 

any files that may still be around and then install to a new location. There 

might be some sticky registry entries or files that aren't being over written.


I hope this helped.
