Hi
Just to elaborate - near the top of my data file (about 50 lines in), I find 
this:

      <slot>
        <slot:key>gncInvoice</slot:key>
        <slot:value type="integer">559</slot:value>
      </slot>

559 is my most recently created invoice.   I think that GC pads the leading 
zeroes on automatically.

Make sure you take a backup copy of your data before hand editing the file, 
just in case

HTH,
Maf.
