Can't save flight plans

[loop_n_roll 7]

Suddenly I'm not able to save my flight plans. Instead I get a message that the file can't be found as if I'm trying to open a save file. Any way to fix this here since I save most of my flight plans for later reuse.

Interesting that this is has shown up for me, not necessarily with plans, but with files that have nothing to do with P3D, LNM or anything flight sim related. I wonder if this has anything to do with latest security updates for W10.?

Might be folder permission issues as Sherm indicated.

What is the exact error message and how do your save the plans (from menu, multiexport or something)?

I save from the LNM menu. I tried to send a screenshot but the forum makes it tough to do. The message says,

"C:/Users\myname\OneDrive\Documents\Little Navmap Files\Flight\IFRJohn Glenn Columbus Intl (KCMH) to Cenver Intl (LDEM).lnmln

File not found.

Check the file name and try again"

I am not aware I've ever activated One Drive so I don't know where that part came from. 

Thanks for helping.

MS like to sneak this stuff onto users.🙁

It's a bit strange since LNM does not have a message "Check the file name and try again". It's nowhere in the code. Is OneDrive showing this?

About screenshots see here: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/605519-how-to-post-a-screenshot-or-files/

What if you save this to "C:\Users\myname\Documents"?

Yes. I did get that message. I think I solved this. First, I reinstalled the latest  version of LNM, but that wasn't the problem. It was the reference to One Drive which I had never activated that caused the problem. After a fix, all worked as expected. Had to get set up again in LNM but all is well now. Thanks again for a great program and your interest in your users.

You're welcome and thank you for the solution. This might help others with similar problems too.

FWIW, I have copied files stored on One Drive to my desktop and then deactivated it in W10 settings. I use Google Drive for storage and am perfectly happy with it. For $20 a year you can get 100gigs of storage…
