Inventor 2026.2 - VBA IVB file save issue

hkilic896XF — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 21:44:19 GMT

Hi.

I have never seen a message like this before; when I click to save button from VBA IDE this message appears, even if I made a clean startup of Inventor..

or if I close Inventor without saving the default ivb I click to yes to the message box to prompt save ivb or not.. again the same message..

Is there a solution for this?

This mean that you do not have write permission for this file, it can be due fact that:

1. it is shared beetween users as @gopinathmY575P mentioned - copy it locally, change it and copy it back to server,

2. but also if you work not in first instance of inventor - make sure you have open only one inventor instace,

3. or file has read-only property set to true - check file properties.
