Problem with keychain Access

Sep 16, 2011 7:45AM PDT
When I try to save the information in keychain I get this message "An error has occurred. unable to add an item to the current keychain.The specified keychain is not a valid keychain file." It was able to do so before and now I cannot save any of my passwords. Anyone have any ideas how to correct this problem?
