Re: Cannot save a file - button is shaded

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


I have just tried in A2000 to do just what you did; I do a File - New, it makes a database db1 in the default location, and brings me to the database window. The "Save" toolbar button is greyed out. The reason? Nothing to save - it has just created db1 and saved it - and I have made no changes since, so nothing to save.

The same happens when I go to table design - I create a sample table, save it at the prompt when exiting the table design, and the Save Button is dimmed. It's only active when there are unsaved changes.

So, if this is the behaviour you are seeing, maybe it's actually working.

John,

I did copy them from a cd (that I created back a few years). I checked them and they were not labeled read only. I also created a new dbase from scratch (it defaulted to the title "db1") and when I went to save it, I had the same problem. What I mean by that is that the save button was "dull" and could not be selected. Similar to when an option on the drop down menu is not appropriate at the time and cannot be selected.

Thanks for taking the time to try to help.
Jim
