Can't Save As SQL file

[Sally Harris]

I recently updated to the most recent version of Notepad ++. When I try to save a file as SQL type, it is saving as .txt. Anyone else seeing this? Have a suggest to work around it?

Steps: Save As, name file and file type SQL. Hit save. File is saved as .txt.

@Sally-Harris said in Can't Save As SQL file:

Save As, name file and file type SQL. Hit save. File is saved as .txt.

Change those steps to:

Save As, name file with base name and then add .sql to the end (by typing it). Hit save.

Or, change your Preferences to deactivate Use new style dialog. If you do that, your original steps should work.

Beautiful! Thanks, just typed in the .sql extension and it worked like a charm. Appreciate your help!
