In the Spreadsheet area, I created my first project and saved it under "save as". After doing some more work on it, I tried to save it by clicking on the "SAVE" icon. An error message appered that said, "Could not create backup copy". I had to click on the OK button twice before the spreadsheet screen reappeared. I then tried to close the project by clicking on the " X " in the upper right corner but after being asked to "SAVE, DISCARD or CANCEL", I received the same error message. So I can't get out of the project unless I do a soft boot and I lose all my work that way. > > > > H E L P soon! ! !

This could be under C:\Programs and Files > \OpenOffice.org1.1\user\backup. XP is similar. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
