[GNC] Fwd: Gnucash

[Maf. King]

I've just had a thought on a possible reason the original file could not be 
saved.  I may be barking up the wrong tree.....

Does Win have a maximum length for a filename?

If Barry (OP) has been repeatedly opening and working on backups and backups 
of backups etc.., is it possible that repeated time-stamps have hit some sort 
of string-length limit (either in Win, GC, Gnome-libs or whatever layer)??

Last time I was actively using MS for anything regularly, the filename length 
limit was 8+3 ... so I'll defer to pretty much anyone's opinion on this!
