Anybody else having files not saving

[Dubman]

I'm using VectorWorks Architect SP5 build 168051 on a PC. After working a while on a file it quits saving the file even when I select save. When I use save as & say yes to over right the existing file it does not over right the file. The only way I can save the file after doing more work to it is by selecting save as & adding a letter or number to the file name each time I save the file. It is saving to the back up folder but not to the original folder. I am working 10 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week and this is making me think the 2012 is not a reliable version.

Is anybody else out there having this same problem ?

Thanks for any help!

Dubman, never had this problem. That's not much help to you, but at least it tells you the problem can be conquered once you figure out what's going on.

I've had that happened before, it was due o lack of computer memory even though I had 8G of ram.

Just rename the temp file that VW creates and try to open it.

How big is you file?

Have you tried rebooting and opening the file? then try to save it again?

So far my newer project files are saving fine. Thanks for all suggestions
