How do I Save a file in Basecamp

It's automatically saved when you exit Basecamp.

It is a database driven program. All changes are auto saved.

What if you decide not to save?

You use Ctrl-Z (undo) on anything you don't want to keep.

Cheers. But just to be clear. Does the 'undo' undo all the changes or only the most recent?

Most recent. In short you have to undo stuff (manually or Ctrl-Z) you don't want to keep. That is the nature of a database application and why BC is not my primary software (but the file based, and obsoleted, MapSource).

What one can do is create a "Temporary" folder/list and try stuff in that. Of course existing data would have to be copied first so you don't accidentally mess with stuff you don't want to.

I often open new files in MapSource and "experiment". Sometimes I save the file other times not.

Thanks again. Yes I prefer MapSource any day. I've more or less given up on BC. But since my hard drive died I lost MS and although I have the installation disk the MS updates are not available.

Um, just click on the link in my previous post and you'll get the final MapSource updater. If you've already installed BC that download will run.

If you want a specific version check here.

You can't decide not to save... it's automatic to prevent data loss. However you can always undo changes.

Thanks but that really is crazy. Manys the time I've altered a track in MapSource then realised I needed to start again. The easiest way to do that was to unload it without saving.
