Thread: The System cannot find the file Specified

Hi I'm totally new to Java

I'm using Jcreator as it was provided by my lecturer..I can compile and run programs using this IDE but when I try reopen for example Addition.java( which is a simple program to take in three numbers and display the result and try Save as the same .java file I get the following erro

"The system cannot find the file Specified.

It's definitely saving to the folder I specified on my desktop because i can see the .java and the class file created but I keep getting this error when I try save again to the same folder..

I started new file ..the location is C:\Users\*****\Desktop\Javaprogs\ ..***** is where my name is ..which is saving to that location..

I dunno what I'm doing wrong.the jdk is 8 and seems to be working

As I said I can compile and run programs but I cannot save As

any help would be appreciated.

Hi Norm

Thanks a million for the reply

Yes I can edit the file in notepad and wordpad and save fine.

It's just Jcreator ..or something else isn't right

could it be something to do with registering environment variables..? javac? or is that something else.?

sorry for my ignorance,I'm a first year student to java so I'm really just learning the ropes

cheers for the reply.

Yes that was the initial problem..wouldnt save

I did a system rollback and all seems ok now.its saving ok.

thanks again for the help.
