Hi Kelly,
please copy the contents of the output pane and send a mail with it.

Hi Stephan,
Thanks for your suggestion. I did as you said and "Files used by LyX"
are now set to Yes for debug messages. However, the message it is
showing in the Output pane gives no further detail than the pop-up box!
("Auto-edit file "file path" failed (time stamp) Automatic save done.
Error: Cannot edit file") Any further help is welcome.
thanks,
Kelly

To see more descriptive error messages enable debug output for "Files used by LyX". To do so you have to: 1. Enable the message pane - go to the View menu and select "Messages Pane" 2. There you'll see the log window. At the right you select the "Settings" Tab. 3. Choose the "Selected" option at the left and then "Files used by LyX" at the right. 4. Go back to "Output" tab to watch the log messages while working with LyX. Stephan

I'm on Windows 7 btw.Thanks! Hi Dan, Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I have been having the same problem since around 2011. (And I don't understand Richard's suggestions!) thanks, Kelly

Auto-edit file "path-to-file" failed.' It does work with LyX child documents and it also works with LyX 2.0.8.1, which is also installed on the same machine. It did not work with 2.1.0, either. As far as I can see the paths/settings are the same in 2.1.1 and 2.0.8.1, but please let me know whether I should check something specific. I'm on Windows 7 btw. If you can run LyX from a terminal, you're likely to get more robust error messages. You can also try View> Messages Pane, and activate "Files used by LyX". Richard
