Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 5	Dear all, I have programmed an interpretation bias task in Inquisit. We also have used this task several times successfully. However, at one of our locations we discovered an error in saving the data. The specific errors we received are: File error access is denied Inquisit could not open the data file for writing Inquisit was unable to save the data Does anyone knows what went wrong and how we can resolve this issue? Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! Most likely, the data file was either locked by a different application (e.g. if someone had it open in Excel while running the task) or you are attempting to run the script / store the data file in a location where the respective user doesn't have write permissions. In the latter case, move the script and/or data saving location somewhere else, where you do have sufficient permissions.

Does that also means that due to this error there is no data saved at all?
