Perhaps you are using a book you created yourself? The commercial books may have some sort of built-in "protection"? Sometimes the books come with the desired database also on the CD. When I get "save as" in the opening book, THERE IS NO OPTION TO CLICK ON "OK." Instead, the only option is to select the database and then click on "open." I am using Chessbase 8.0. Are you? Note that there are three save options: save, save as, and save book. None of them work. All it does is save a single line. If you just tried this and it worked for you, then there must be something different about the software [or operator procedures] each of us is using. Bob D. Bob D.
