Access Denied message in DW when saving changes to a file

May 15, 2012 6:22 AM

I am having issues with saving changes to a previous file in DW CS5.  My files are located on an external drive, always have been.  I am using a new pc (WIN 7) and the drive is connected.  I can open the files and change them just fine but I can not save them.  I get ACCESS DENIED.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening and how I can get back to saving my changes?

    My guess is that you are running into Win7's excruciating security measures

    (permissions, privileges etc). After 6 monsths of struggling, I still can't access

    certain folders on my 6 PC LAN

     

    I assume you have logged in as an Admin and examined the read/write permissions etc.

     

    So sorry I am not a Win 7 expert for you.

    Well I feel kind of silly but I figured it out.  It was basically a matter of organization.  I went into SITE and then MANAGE SITES and then REMOVED the folder and then ADDED it again.  Works fine now.  Before, the reason I had the issue, was becuase I was skipping the "MANAGE SITE" step and just accessing my files from the FILES tab under WINDOWS.  Although this method allowed me to open files and change them, it would not allow me to save the changes.  HOPE THIS HELPS someone else some day.

     

    Thanks for trying to help me Ken.  I appreciate it!
