An unknown erorr occurred while accessing P:\

1, Does p:\.... exist?
1a, Can you explore to that location?
1b, Is there enough disk space for saving?
1c, Do you have write access to that folder or sub folder?
2, Is there an original file in that location, with that name, which is read only?
2a, Can you save the file to another name?
3, Are you using Pdmworks or another document system, where you do not have write access?
Just a few suggestions to help you on your way
:-)
Do you have the 3 Gb switch set, but not a user value set?

This is not uncommon. I have usually seen it with drawings. It may mean a corrupt file. Hope you have backups set to 2.

only? - the original file is in the same drive. it happened when this file getting bigger.
issue appeared in SP0 of SolidWorks 2007 but was listed as 'fixed' after SP1. Currently SP4.0 is the latest release. I'm working on update SW 2007 to SP4.
Thanks! A local SW thec support says this issue appeared in SP0 of SolidWorks
2007 but was listed as 'fixed' after SP1. Currently SP4.0 is the latest release. Do you think this is the problem? I'm working on to updated it to SP4. Thanks, again! _MargaretMargaret,
I've seen that kind of thing a lot farther back that SP1 or 2007. My advice is twofold:
- Set your backups to 2. Setting to 1 will only get you two corrupt files usually.
- Clean your temp out and defrag regularly.
