After I save the file, then try to open it again from the hard drive or thumb drive, this error comes up.  I've had to change from the linux version to the Windows XP version of GNU cash. Could this be the cause?  If so, what is the proper procedure for using a file created using GNUCASH for linux in GNUCash for Windows?

What version of GC were you using on linux and which version are you
now using on Windows?
