I found a workaround.
If I hit the Cancel button on the Save Dialog, it should ask me the next day, and keep badgering me until I finally save my cpp file.
By jove, I think I've got it now....

Have you ever considered hitting the "OK" button on the Save window*
That works for many of us.
* it's not a dialog

What version of VS is this? Mine autosaves every time I start debugging...for the most part, that setting is optimal...or did you code nonstop for 6 hours without debugging?

Or even compiling - my system saves every time I press CTRL+SHIFT+B
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Are you sure you typed the title of the message correct !!! 
I mean six hours.. Where 1 hour means 60 minutes ! And you went on coding without saving or even running (Ctrl + F5) or debugging (F5) even once.. !
Unbelievable ! 
Thanks,

So you know how to write code in Visual Studio but you have never learned the basics of a Dialog Box?

Very interesting, but nothing to do with your problem.

My fellow Americans,
In your experience what websites have good deals on fireworks?

Funny! I used to use it (the Macromedia version) frequently but it didn't make the cut on the last development rigs...mostly due to the fact that it doesn't play nice with Aero. I'm trying Gimp to replace it...so far, so good, but I haven't done much with it (gimp) yet.

Gimp is pretty powerful, and I like it. There is also Gimpshop | The Photoshop Free Alternative[^], and a photoshop layout from PortableApps.com[^]

Oh, and Micronesia. At least according to Wikipedia.
So why does pretty much every US based service that caters to a worldwide audience use mm/dd/yyyy as a date format
Latest example this hour is VS team services "Access issues with Visual Studio Team Services – 5/25 – Investigating". 5/25 = 25 May. That's easy. But when I see 6/7 or 10/8 I have to manually check the site and see what culture they are based in.
No one in the US (I'm guessing - apart from ex-pats) worry about this. Or are probably even aware of this issue. Everyone else in every other country is aware of this issue. Everyone in Canada manages to deal with it. And I don't know how their brains don't explode.
Canada uses dd/mm/yyyy. Except when it uses mm/dd/yyyy because either it's a US based company, they are using a US based system, they are trying to be nice to their US based customers, because they just forgot to use dd/mm/yyyy or because they know it's me and so they deliberately use an ambiguous date format to do my head in. Date formats in Canada are totally and completely messed up.
So: Why, in this day and age, do those in the US, when writing for an international audience, still use mm/dd/yyyy?
(And I'll add another one: Why do companies in the US find it impossible to ship outside the US? It's very odd)
OK, back to hitting refresh several times a second waiting for Team Services to come back online.
cheers

What's the point of either version? They both sort badly.
I pretty much always use yyyy.mm.dd for all my laundry dating coding and business items. Only when forced due to specifications on a form (which always say what they want in each field and/or how they want it formatted) do I do otherwise.
So - not to worry - Bigendian or little Endian - the egg breaks when you drop it from high enough.*
* Not a relevant catch-phrase but something like that was needed.

The same can be said about e.g. (physical) mail addresses. They would sort much better if they started with the planet identification (or, if you want to go further out, the galaxy and solar system identification), then the continent, the country, the town, street, house number, floor, last name, first name.
Same with DNS addresses - domains, email addresses etc.
Before the current internet address structure squeezed out all its competitor, there were addresssing schemes listing elements from major to minor units. At the binary level, i.e. 32 bit IPv4 or 128 bit IPv6 addresses, the biggest unit comes first, but not in the DNS format.
I guess the justification for putting the biggest unit at the end is that it makes it more natural to chop it off. You don't have to identify the galaxy when sending a postcard to your grandma. In most cases, even the country name is not required. If we had turned the order around, interpretation would in many cases be ambiguous: Is "Norway" a Eurpean country, or a US village?
We write arabic numerals with the biggest unit to the left. So does the arabs, even though they read from right to left. The number is the same, but in the reading order, we see the highest digit first, they see the lowest digit first. Which is the most natural?
In many German-related languages, numbers are pronounced smallest unit first, and you can see it in some old English as well: "... Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie ...", as the children's rhyme goes. Larger numbers are read in a mixed manner ("three hundred, four and twenty").
Natural language is a mess. But fun to study.
