unable to overwrite excel file: access denied

[wildheart25c]

i am the owner of my system. the ownership name is mine when checking adv settings under security tab. i signed in to my windows 11 system with the same account. I can copy and move folders to different locations and drives. But when I wrote this code, I got an error. Why can't I overwrite an excel file?
I thought about disposing it before saving it but then I'd probably get an exception informing me that the workbook is null. i tried a different directory just to be sure and the same thing happened. saving = exception while saving as a diff name = pass

Code: Select all

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Workbook wb = new Workbook();

    wb.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\abc\x\Appendix\JOR 2023.xlsx");

    //doesn't work. access denied
    wb.Save();

    //works because i renamed the file
    wb.SaveToFile(@"C:\Users\abc\x\Appendix\NEW JOR 2023.xlsx");

    Application.Exit();
}

Hi,

Thank you for your inquiry.
I have tested the code you provided, but I was unable to reproduce the issue. Have you tried loading and saving a file with another drive path? Additionally, please provide us with your specific error information and system environment (e.g., Windows 10, 64-bit) to assist us in further investigation, some error details screenshots should be helpful. You can attach the information here or send it to us via email ([email protected]). Thank you in advance.
