Save Data

Save Data lets you save the currently open data file. Alternatively, you can select F11 to save the open data file.

ASCII fixed (*) data files

Data files must be opened in edit mode to make changes and save the data file. Disabling the Read only option on the Open Data dialog opens the data file in edit mode.

Other data files

All other data files are automatically opened in edit mode. Changes made to the currently open data file will be saved.

All data files

The original data file will be backed up with a *.bak extension.
The newly saved data file will automatically reopen in WinCross.
There is only one backup file created per session regardless of the number of times you open and edit the data file during that WinCross session.
If you open the same data file in a new WinCross session, a new backup file is created and will replace an existing backup file. For example, if you open,edit and save Example.sav, an Example.sav.bak is created in the same directory where the original data file exists. If you end the WinCross session and then start a new WinCross session and open, edit and save Example.sav again, the Example.sav.bak backup file that exists from the earlier WinCross session will be replaced with the new Example.sav.bak.
