Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me with a fairly urgent problem - if I'm not to 
loose a lot of data I've just entered!

I've spent an hour updating a spreadsheet file and at the end of the work I got 
the message:

"Error saving the document WALKGRPA.ods: Write Error.  The file could not be 
written."

This is a file I've been using regularly without problems saving or opening.

Thank you,

First of all, you should, in the future, have a practice of saving files much more frequently, so you avoid a situation where you spend an hour on something without saving. Every 5 minutes would be a better practice. You can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S to very quickly save files.

Now about your current problem -- I'm not sure what the cause of it is, but what I would try it doing a File > Save As, to save it as a different name and/or different location on your drive. Again, without knowing for sure why you are getting the "Write Error", I can't be sure if this will work. But it is the first thing that I would try.

Another possible approach would be to copy and paste your data into a new spread sheet, and save that.

Are you able to save other spreadsheets or is it just this file?
