after i edited my files, it has always saved in the defualt location automatically.
location normally is:
My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager/db/(your saved file)
i try to avoid naming files that might cause conflictions/confusion to the AI, i really dont know if that does have an effect or not.
eg. when i created my world league i saved as:
Name: World league
Author: NW Challenge
Description: world club challenge
version: (leave it blank)
luckily i have yet to experience any problems relating to loading and gameplay.
