There are a couple of things I can think of that might cause this:

1. You don't have enough free disk space to save the form. And, no, just because you read the form from that disk, it doesn't mean you can necessarily write the same, unaltered form back to the same disk space. We've seen this happen often in our shop. If you're using a shared disk, that might explain why you can come back a couple of hours later and everything works...maybe someone is cleaning off some disk space during that time.
2. You don't have write access on the form. You could still read the form into the editor and make your changes, you just couldn't save it. This could easily be the problem if you're using any configuration management software, where you have to check out the file before you edit it (as we do here).

Hope this helps. Received on Thu Jan 15 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
