I think I found out when this error happens. As long as there are no more then 5 sub-directories all works well. But the 6. sub-directory let appear the problem. Michael maybe you can now confirm this. to save the file for example under C:\Neuer Ordner1\Neuer Ordner2\Neuer Ordner3\Neuer Ordner4\Neuer Ordner5 should work but save under C:\Neuer Ordner\Neuer Ordner2\Neuer Ordner3\Neuer Ordner4\Neuer Ordner5\Neuer Ordner6 not! btw it plays no rule if using "Save" "Save as" or "Save a copy" Please give it a another try!
