different stack locations, different (or no) responses?

[Friedrich F. Grohmann]

Jacque,

Thanks for your thoughtful suggestions. I had been trying "Save  
as..." from inside Rev, to no avail, but encouraged by your mail I  
duplicated the stack from the desktop into a new folder, tried to  
open it, put a second folder into the first one, moved the stack  
therein, etc. etc. That seemed to work and so I started checking  
whether the nested folder in which the stack was originally planned  
to go might be the source of all these troubles.

Now I think I found the culprit. The target folder was C (desktop >  
folder A >  folder B > folder C) with A, B, and C being meaningful  
names indicating the topics of the projects I am working on. C  
contains word processing files, outliner files and further folders. I  
never had any problem with opening the other stuff placed either in C  
or in its sub-folders, only the said Revolution stack displayed the  
strange behaviour I described.

The problem, however, was not C in itself but rather the name of  
folder B in which one term was put in quotation marks. I removed  
those and now everything works as expected.

Again, thank you for your help.

All the best,
Fritz
