<p>Occasionally while attempting to save a Crystal Report that I'm working on in VS2008, a dialog titled "File Save Failed" pops up saying "The document could not be saved in C:\Users\Phillip\AppData\Local\Temp{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}.rpt. It has been saved in  C:\Users\Phillip\AppData\Local\Temp\~zzz{YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY}.tmp."</p>

<p>If I OK the dialog, I get a "Save File As" dialog. If I specify the correct location of the report file, I'm asked if I want to replace the existing file. If I say "Yes", I get an error message saying "The operation could not be completed. The system cannot find the file specified." Even if I specify a completely different filename, in a different folder (e.g. C:/test.rpt) I get the same "operation could not be completed" error.</p>

<p>Sometimes if I wait a moment, then try to save again, it works fine. More frequently, however, I keep getting the "Save File As" dialog. My only option then is to close the report and discard my changes.</p>

<p>This is an intermittent problem - much of the time, saving the report works just fine. Any ideas?</p>
