If yes then try running dbase from admin accounts otherwise I think this has something to do with windows UAC. In that case I have no solution as I have not encountered such errors. By the way did you check in which directory you are trying to save. This is crucial as windows will not allow you to save in program files???? / windows and some other directories windows reserves for its own use and are readonly by default. Try saving in your documents folder. Test 1 Type ?set('directory') in your command window to check your current directory. Use the navigator to change the directory to your documents folder. use modi comm temp.txt to open a file type anything and try saving it. Test 2 Type ?set('directory') in your command window to check your current directory. Use windows explorer to navigate to that directory and try creating a new .txt file there. Regards Akshat
