When you had this "problem" did your file(s) delete automatically from the directory???
Yes. But when I tried saving a few seconds later, they mysteriously reappeared.
Very strange VC++ problem.

Had the same problem for a long time now... every other time I press the save button, I get the same message, but if I press save again a second later, everything is saved and works just fine, but it is really annoying. I''ll try disabling auto-protect...

OK, i''ll do what everybody suggests.
I already made that backup directory with all my files, just in case i lose files again.
It just freaked me out the first time i lost my main.cpp.
I just don''t want that happening when my source code is huge...plus, I DO NOT want to make a backup copy everytime!
I will definitely reinstall visual studio and see if that helps too.

Just write a batch file to copy your main C++ files from one folder to another. That is, start a text file and put in lines similar to:
copy [SOURCE FILE PATH] [DESTINATION FOLDER PATH]
Where your pathfor the file will be something like:
C:\Projects\GameEngine\main.cpp
And for the folder will be like:
C:\Backup
Note: If your folders have spaces in the name then you need to encapsulate the path in quote "" marks. Put in a line for each of the main files (or ... in fact just copy folder to folder). Save the text file with the extension .bat
That way to do a complete backup you only need to double-click on the batch file.

I have that problem all the time, so I just use "Save All" button.
Although this problem also arises when I open same file twice in Visual Studio, so try to keep the number of opened files at minimum.

ERROR MESSAGE: "Cannot Save File" in Visual C++ IDE
From my personal experience, guess you all are using XP (2000 do happen too, but not as frequent as in XP). In Win98SE and WinNT4), the save button works flawlessly (err... I mean no such encounter thus far
). This happen on MSVC6. I'm not sure about MSVC5.
Just click the save button few times until you really save it.

Thanks for all the help.
If I click the save button every other time, it works fine.
Previous times i stopped after encountering the first error message - at which point i noticed the file to be missing.
But apparantly saving again will reveal the file to be there...weird.
But I will backup all files, just in case.
Weird how my previous projects that i had created under my old computer under win98se had no problems like this ever.
but my first project created under XP and....you know what!
Anyways, thanks again.
I no longer have to freak out when that happens.
