That is a standalone saving a data stack. (I used the splash- screen approach to building the standalone, using Rev. version 2.7.4.291, in
case it matters.)  There is the standalone splash screen stack, the
primary stack ("BlueMain", with a Save button), and three substacks
of BlueMain.  Saving either BlueMain or one of the substacks causes
the freeze.

Is the standalone running from the network as well, or is it running on
a local machine?

It's running from the network as well.  I make the standalone and
then copy the folder named "Windows" to the network drive.

A long time ago I had issues related to UNC pathnames that Rev was
unable to resolve which caused problems in accessing files on network
servers. It's possible that when saving, Rev is getting the "filename"
property of the stack and trying to write the data back to that
location. One thing to check would be to put in some debug code that
did "put the fileName of stack 'BlueMain'" and see what it is. If the
network drive isn't mapped, perhaps mapping it to a drive letter and
then setting the filename of the stack to a path that includes the
drive letter will help.

I want to thank all of you who had suggestions. After trying the suggestions I received (none of which *quite* worked), I ended up with this workaround, in case anyone else runs into the problem:

  put the fileName of stack "MyStack" into myFileName
  save stack "MyStack" as "C:\temp\MyStack.rev"
  close stack "MyStack"
  revCopyFile "C:\temp\MyStack.rev", myFileName
  open stack "MyStack"

That worked fine, but only when the network drive was mapped -- thank you very much for that tip, Ken! I would never have found it.

Cheers,
-Paul
