if you choose 'file' -> 'export', you'll find the option to export a .sav file.

cheers

Dear Jonathan,

this doesn't work for me. It says "a provided name contains an illegal character". Is there another option? Do I do sth. wrong?

Hope for quick answer.

Thanks,

Lucy

Hey, Lucy
one of your columns has a name which isn't compatible with those file formats. see if any of your column names make use of special characters or similar.

Cheers,
Maurizio
