I have a layout that keeps failing to publish, every other layout in the set publishes but this one keeps saying Fail.
I have deleted the Views and put them in the Layout again but it still says Fail.
When i click on why it says it might be in use by another program. So I shut down all my programs and restarted but the same problem, any ideas?
Thanks,
Naomi

Are you publishing to a PDF on a network drive?
If so that PDF may be open by someone else so it can't save to that file.
Rename or choose a new location or try to find out who it is and have them close it.
I have found in the past even having the file selected with a preview in Window Explorer will mark the file as open.
If it is not a PDF then maybe it is a similar thing if you are publishing to a network drive.
Someone else is accessing the file you are trying to save.
