I tried it now with a short fileName
former fileName: Kilometer_Ferdinand.mc
new fileName: KM.mc
when I open it from MC-home and do the saving it works...
but when I doubleClick KM.mc in windows and try to save it works the first
time...
in the networkFolder the backupFile KM.mc~ appears and doesn�t go away...
the next saving doesn�t work -> "Can�t open stack backup file"
I don�t recognize any errors in my network; all filetransfers, copy and
backups work
???

Ernst
