All I'm saying is if you are trying to save the template on a version less than 4.0.3, then that might be the problem, no matter how long this hack has been around. On my 4.0.3, with numerous products installed, saving the template gave me no errors whatsoever. Funny why this would work fine for most others but mess up for just a very few, unless there were some other issues involved somehow.
No, I am not Elmer. And sorry if my assisting bothers anyone. I will back out of the thread and let you all handle things then.
