The file cannot be opened in writing mode

Causes

There may be different reasons:

  • The file is already open and it is being used; it cannot be opened in writing mode twice:
    • maybe you opened the application more than once and the file was opened in another window
    • maybe the file has been opened by another user in another session, still active
    • maybe the file is a network shared file, and it is being used by another user
  • The file is protected:
    • maybe the file is located in a protected folder
    • maybe the file is marked as protected
    • maybe the fie is located in a system directory where editing is not possible
    • maybe the file is located on a non writable disk (CD-ROM)

Solutions

Your modifications cannot be saved on this file, so you have other solutions:

  • if the file has ben opened by someone else, it is better to close the file and open it again when the other user has finished his work
  • you can save your modifications by using the Save as command from the File menu, and then saving the data on another file.
