For some reason, I cannot "Save" my web. I get the error message attached, though the file is not open elsewhere. I tried rebooting the computer, but still get the same error message when I try to save. Thoughts?

Can you attach the web file here Windjammer?

Don't know if it's still relevant, Egg. The problem seems to have gone away today, but I've attached the web anyway.
Previously, "Save" generated the error message, BUT if I published the web was then saved. I did not get the usual message that I needed to save before publishing.
Confusing.
Strange. Saves fine here too.

Nothing lasts forever...
Interesting thread, particularly because Rik is running DP16 and gets the same error message. As I mentioned I cannot save (when the issue comes up) but the web is saved when I publish. It has to be a common routine in the "save" code for DP and Web Designer. Or does it?
Running on Windows 8.1, desktop computer. I also use W-10 on a laptop, but not often. Haven't experienced this issue on that machine.
Unfortunately happening again with a completely different web. The same error message, but the file saves when I publish. Gives a warning message when trying to quit, even though file saved with "publish."
At least it's not fatal as there is a work-around.
That's the norm for me... ever since 16. I never even brought it up because I've never seen it discussed here... thinking it must be my system and not Xara.... Yet I wondered why it doesn't happen with ANY other app.
When first opening any file... it's fine. It will save normally for 1 to 3 saves. Then the error. And then over some use/time, it may allow a normal save here and there... but more often it won't.
So my normal way of saving a Xara file is to...
'Save As' - when the window opens - delete the file - (by deleting it, it puts the same name in the save field - because you clicked it obviously) and just hit return to save it again....
I've become so good at it, and fast, that my brain thinks that's the way you save a file in Xara.
Each time there's an update (which is few and far between) I can't wait to try it... not for any new/improved features it may contain... but for the hope that I can one day get back to a normal save of just Cntrl S.
But it just don't happen... oh well, we live in an imperfect world... it's always sumpin'... LOL
Your method doesn't work for me, I still get the error message. What does work is adding a "2" to the name, then the next time using the original name, etc. Shouldn't have to do it, but...
I don't particularly blame Xara as any Windows update could introduce an element that might upset the applecart. C'est la guerre.
FWIW, I just installed Windows updates and re-booted. For now, Xara saves normally. I'll report back if this changes.
Thanks, everyone for your input!
