When I create a file and save it the first time using "save as", but when I re-open the file and make changes and then try to save the changes, all I get is a message that says I can't create a backup and doesn't allow me to get out without saying discard, which means my changes aren't saved???
Why is the system trying to do a back up rather than just over riding the file just opened?
Is there something I need to do differently when I try to save changes?
I just bought this package; I've used Microsoft Excel previously and never had problem saving changes to a file...
Thanks, Larry

Welcome to the OOo world. Creating backups is something that may have happened also in Excel, you just didn't know it.
There are two possibilities.
1) Go to Tool > Options > Load/Save > General. See if the box labeled /Always create a backup copy/ is checked. If it is uncheck it.
2) Go to Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Paths. Look at the path labeled backups. See if that directory is marked read only or something.
