Saving workspace problems after long simulations

If an overnight or multiple-day long simulation is run on a .wsp file that is on a network folder, sometimes the workspace cannot be saved when it is finished no matter what you do. It is understandable that the network connection might be broken and re-established before the simulation is finished, but even when the "Save As" command is used to try to save to the local hard disk, the error is the same. It does create the .wsp file on the local disk but it must be almost empty because it will be only a few KB in size when it should be hundreds of KB or a few MB even. This is disappointing to have happen after a long wait for the simulation to complete.
What's up with this?

I ran a large EMPOWER simulation here over the weekend and was able to save it to a network drive or to the local computer. The most likely cause of your difficulty is a problem with your network. I suggest you just save the workspace to your local drive when running a long simulation, then copy it to the network later when necessary. You may also want to consult your IT person, since it is most likely to be a network error.

A further clarification: GENESYS 2004 does not load all of the data in the workspace file unless necessary. Instead, it leaves the file open using Windows "Structured Storage". If the server containing the file is reboot, it will be unable to save the file to either the original or a new location since the file handle is gone and not all of the data are available.
