Is anything else reading that file? Could it be opened by another process (or the application itself)? It may be that the file is locked by being opened and when you try to save the file Windows is refusing (thus the Access Denied). Make sure you close the file if you're reading it yourself, and close any programs that may have the file open.
Can you delete the file from the explorer? You should get the same error.
