[GNC] Unable to modify existing database

[Sadhna True]

I have not changed the location where the files are saved (in my user folder on the C:\ drive). It has always worked in the past. I looked at the permissions for the folder, and I don't see anything awry there (it looks to me like all of the permissions are set to "allow").

Any other suggestions?

You shouldn’t suddenly have a permissions issue if all was working properly before.

Make sure you are trying to save the file either in your own user folder or on a thumb drive. (or network share)

Some users have reported here that trying to save files to C:\ or other locations have a chance to trigger the problem, especially on more recent versions of Windows. (10 in particular)

Also, make sure you are not logged into the computer using the ‘guest’ account if there is one. Those accounts usually can’t save files to the hard drive (but could to a thumb drive) and would likely trigger this as well.

Regards,
Adrien
