can you do a complete backup export ?

 

if so, do that then close the plan using windows task manager to force close if necessary

 

then close Chief and maybe even restart or reboot your PC

 

then try again  ???

 

your file name looks fairly long but I have bad eyes and can't read all the characters in it

try a much shorter file name and save to the Pictures folder as your folder path structure may be too deep/long ???

Ditto on what Michael posted. It sounds as if Save As will not allow you to over-write the current file.

 

PLAN A: Save that plan on your Desktop and see what happens. Then drag and drop it into wherever you keep the original. It should cancel out the former plan and get you back to all systems go.

 

PLAN B: You can also do a Save as, and change the name of it if you have to. What this does is spawn a new Archive Folder. If you take a look at the archives, sometimes you'll see more than one archive folder for a given project... one for the layout and one for the plan. Ideally the "saves" for both the plan and layout should be ongoing inside the same folder. 

 

Sometimes things mysteriously get wonky, and deleting the entire archive folder solves everything. If you're nervous about this, don't worry... you can always find them in the trash if you ever needed them... assuming you don't empty your trash folder every month!
