Thanks for your reply. I have also had this when testing locally but only when debugging the save process. I noticed that the save failed when I stepped through the code, most likely due to a timeout. In our case, it seems to be worse the longer the edit session stays open as I mentioned in my first post.
Kind Regards, David As a work-around we are now using a local editor mapped to the server drive and that seems to not have these issues. I would still like to see this solved (longer timeout?) but we have a work-around for the moment.
