Alan S Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Does anyone else get this annoying message everytime VW does an autosave? The autosave seems to work fine, but this message pops up. It seems random. With some files I never see, and others it shows up everytime. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Any illegal characters in your file name? http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=7&Number=106126&Searchpage=1&Main=22717&Words=%2Billegal+%2Bcharacters&topic=0&Search=true#Post106126 Quote Link to comment

lucylou Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hi I used to get this quite a lot especially as i have to save my file across to the main computer not had it for a while though. best to do a 'save as' and rename it. Quote Link to comment
CADD Nark Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 since upgrading to 2008 SP3, this is driving me crazy. i've renamed all my files and directories and i'm still getting this. one thing i noticed is that in the VW Backup folder, the backups that VW creates include the time and date into the backup file name... my original file is A1_Plan_DrAllentown_10503.vwx and VW names the backup file A1_Plan_DrAllentown_10503-Backup-20080805113643.vwx could that be the source of this extremely annoying error?? can the time and date of the backup be tuned off?? or am i just missing something???

islandmon Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 my original file is A1_Plan_DrAllentown_10503.vwx and VW names the backup file A1_Plan_DrAllentown_10503-Backup-20080805113643.vwx changing the filename violates protocol and of course eliminates the original FilePath.

CADD Nark Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 i didn't change the file name... VW creates and names the backup file, not me. if i delete the backup file, VW will successfully perform the autosave and create and name the file... and the name will be just like i mentioned in my above post... and the next time the autosave tries to execute, it fails with the "(Failure on attempt to open file)".

CADD Nark Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 it seems the VW has a problem with it's own file re-naming if the file is set to save to a subfolder in the same location as the original... IF the original is on a network. since i've change it to autosave to my local drive it seems to autosave just fine. Quote Link to comment
