Downloaded the example. Opened it, saved it (took about 3 minutes to save).

Created a new file and it saved fine!!

Thnk you for your help Emmanuel! I look forward to using the software!

Any further thoughts?

The software is great, I just don't want to involve myself in anything, if I can't subsequently save it!!

Thanks
