Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if it's possible to save a single workbook even if the current project folder includes more than one workbook. Sometimes this option would be nice, since saving a whole project takes a long time if your workbooks contain embedded graphs, more than one worksheet,... .

Thanks in advance,
sebbey

There are 2 ways to save the active workbook:

1. You can save the active workbook manually by selecting "Save Window As..." in the File pull-down menu.

or

2. You can save the active window with the LabTalk command, "save -i".
For example,"save -i C:\Data\MyBook;" will save the active window in the C:\Data directory using the filename, MyBook.ogw.

The "save -i" command will save the active window if it is a workbook, graph, matrix, or Excel window.

To open the file, use the doc command or "Open" in the File pull-down menu.

Thank you DrBobShepherd,

Number 2 does what I was looking for.
In the Help File it says:

save -i; Save the active worksheet, graph, or matrix window to a file

That's why I didn't even try it this way.

Greets,
Sebbey
