Hi Doug,
It says that the file you are trying to write to is
set to READONLY. Which means you can't "Write to it".
I admit that we should catch that error and report it
so you don't see that ugly thing. But there is not a
way for us to prevent the error because is the properties
on the file in Windows.
A few ideas...
- we set your defaults file to Read only so you wouldn’t
accidentally push client data into there. Are you getting this
error when you try to "save as default data"?
- if the file is read only, you can go to the file on your hard
drive, right click the file, select Properties, and remove the read only setting
- is it possible there is a hiccup on your network drive and that is causing
windows to see the file as unavailable? In which case we need to debug why your network is not working.
- is it possible that this happens on a file that you and terry are both working on or passing back and forth... in which case if one of you opens the file on a network share and does not close it... it is possible 2nd computer could see the file as read only.
