Saving a Crystal Reports File through VB

I have a few CR 8.5 reports in my VB6 application. The reports are constantly changing so I have been changing them through the VB designer and then saving them as the original file name, so I could access them from Crystal Reports at a later time. The problem is that it is not working anymore. I recently got a new computer and this is the first time I'm trying to update a report. I'm doing everything the same. Choosing save as file, finding the old file and clicking on it and then pushing save. I'm getting a "Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer" error. "Overwriting of the original support is not supported. You must save to a different file name."

Am I doing something wrong? Did I forget to install something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My apologies to everyone. I had Crystal Reports open and the report was open as well. The file was already in use! I hate when I do that! Thanks anyway.
