Hi Stephan, Thanks for your suggestion. I did as you said and "Files used by LyX" are now set to Yes for debug messages. However, the message it is showing in the Output pane gives no further detail than the pop-up box! ("Auto-edit file "file path" failed (time stamp) Automatic save done. Error: Cannot edit file") Any further help is welcome. thanks, Kelly
