saving a bitmap : "A generic error occurred in GDI"

[BadButBit]

I'm loading a bitmap from a file using the line


Bitmap bmpLoaded = (Bitmap) Bitmap.FromFile(ofd.FileName);


then I try to save an edited version of that bitmap to the save filename with this line

bmpWorkingCopy.Save(strCurrentFile);

but it refuses to save the file and gives me a "A generic error occurred in GDI" error message.

I think the app is trying to share the file with itself but I'm not sure how to resolve this error. any help?
