More...Error message: can't rename file. The newer version has an odd suffix

[Art Campbell]

Well, the numbered files are FM's temp files... the network problem
though is a little weird.
In your FM prefs, what OS naming convention is specified? Does it
match the type of server? Do the files have spaces or accented or
unusual characters in the file names?

When you have a file open, can you do a SaveAs to a different file
name on the server?
