Vista messes with everything, even my kma's. KMA's I add via a memory stick will stay put but if I import to the same folder Vista will hide it in a "compatability folder" fortunately rebuild database function finds both without navigating to a separate location.

Somebody at Microsoft should be shot!

The headlines say Microsoft is losing a billion dollars over a problem with it's Xbox, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get dinged for Vista as well.

Hello again!

last week, when I was unable to access my songbook through wordpad, you all were so kind in helping me discover that Vista is evil...! Now that i can access the songbook through wordpad and edit it, I have another issue which I'm SURE is a microsoft issue, but maybe you can help. After I try editing then SAVING, I get a message that the access to songbook.rtf file is DENIED..., therefore it won't let me save my editing, although I'm IN the file and working on it!

Any more threads on this subject?

once again thanks for any light you can shed on this issue!

Find the songbook file and change the security settings (right click on file and go to properties) to allow everyone full control. You can also find the wordpad.exe, right click on it and go to Run As and change to run as administrator. One of the two should let you modify the file.
