Well it isn't actually "solved" by a single click is it? Really it's 
swept away under the carpet by a "single click". If something as 
simple as this doesn't work relaibly, then what else doesn't work? 
What else has been swept under the carpet?

It's not so much that this problem exists that is worrying, but 
rather that know one seems to know how to even start to know where to 
look to even try and fix it!  And your advice is to ignore it!!!!! 
Jeez!!!!

This is supposed to be a "Professional" software development package 
- I don't think that ignoring a problem like this is in any way 
"professional".

And you are right, it's not "worth" spending 12 hours on, it's not 
worth spending even 10 minutes on, but if I can't make it work then I 
there will be no confidence in RR as development tool and there will 
be no confidence that there is any support to get problems like this 
resolved.

Sorry to be sound tetchy but I am, I just cannot beleive that we have 
paid over $400 for something that has basic problems like this in it. 
I mean if you can't save reliably (and then know you have saved) then 
what's the point?

All the Best
Dave
