Ok so ive tested my arc the whole way through, everything works like a dream.

Then i go to publish it and am met with the message :

"Cannot publish arc because field description begins with whitespace."

I cant seem to figure out what its talking about, im sifting through my mission and well......... im drawing a blank here.

Use a text editor on the mission file. Sometimes a   gets stuck in the front of a field. Search for that "nbsp" non-breaking space and delete it.

Are you both editing it in CoH as well as in Notepad at the same time? If so, close the one in CoH. Otherwise, not sure. I'm guessing if you are trying to save it, at least you've spotted the NBSP in there. So if all else fails you could try clearing that particular field in MA and re-entering it.

It may simply be a vista-related security issue. Editing things under Program Files is typically an admin-only action. If notepad isn't given elevated privileges then it can't SAVE to those folders.

Try right-clicking on your shortcut to notepad and either editing the compatibility settings under "Properties" to run as admin, or just right-click when running it and selecting "Run as Administrator" to run notepad... then load, edit, and save the file in question.
