Error Message when Opening a File

Dec 18, 2019

I recently installed the latest update to my computer, and since then I receive an error message stating "the file is being used by another process or you do not have the proper security permission to access this resource. Make a copy of your project file, then try to open the new file." I have resaved it as mentioned, and then when I go to open the file I receive the error message again. The only way I am able to open the file is selecting it from the "recent" menu.

Hi Chuck!

Can you try saving it to another location, like "Documents" or "Desktop"?

To keep this from happening, make sure you're saving the file as a different name every time it's saved. One approach that I use is to save a file using the date, and then add an additional number after. Like "SampleCourse12.19-1". 

Let me know if you are still seeing the error message!
