I know this has been discussed so many times but a search on the forum reveals no solution. So I am getting it again in an assembly created by someone else who was let go recently. We had to down size. Anyway, I was hopping this "failed to save" was a thing of the past but SolidWorks Corporation will not let us forget. So I am using SW2009 SP3.0 and I get "failed to save document" in a part and in an assembly and I have no idea how to get rid of it.

I don't know if this is the "solution", but when this happens to me I just save it as a different name, delete the original, then rename it to the original name.
Like you, we used to get the same error message. Our VAR instructed us to do a hard rebuild, ctrl+Q, for every configuration the file in question may have then save it. It works for us.

Got the same error today when I was saving an assy as a part. I just little ol' me not working across a network. I just changed the name of the file, and she saved fine the second time.

When I get fail to save error it is usually when I am using configurations. To fix the problem I open each configuration and do a force rebuild "Cnt'l Q" then I am able to save the file as normal. If you are not using configuration do not know if this will work for you.
