Excellent - thank you. Can I shift the entire catalogue to another hard drive instead? I could then backup all changes to the catalogue much more easily than otherwise.....

This topic on the UAC explains it all, It relates to a similar problem when trying to save 2D objects into the protected UAC area.

When attempting to save a .cyg file to the catalogue, I get a 'can't save' message. I can save to the normal Windows file structure. Also, asking for a new folder in the current catalogue kitchen folder produces no error message but no folder either.

On page 411 of the Documentaion document, I find:

"Note that if you have difficulty locating your saved objects in
the windows folder structure, you must remember that windows no longer saves files into your main C: drive directory but into a virtual folder. This is the Windows User Account Control (UAC) introduced with Windows Vista. It aimed to improve the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting all application software to standard user privileges until an administrator (you) authorise it by elevation. In this way, only applications trusted by you may receive administrative privileges, and malware should be kept from compromising the operating system.
The path for this is normally:
Yourname\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Visual Building Pro\AEC\Solids When you think it should be:
C: \Program Files\Visual Building Pro\AEC\Solids'


This seems to be relevant, until I check the Appdata folder structure and find nothing has been placed there either.....
