	SaveToFile fails. 1. Is there a way to find out why? It has been working fine for several years, until now. 2. Is there a limit to the length of the path? The length might be a bit longer than used previously, but well below the Windows path length maximum. Using C and the 1711 library. Thank you.

	There is not much to the SaveToFile function. A drill down through the code gets us to this API call which tests for save capability: <result> = CreateFileW(PWideChar(FileName), GENERIC_READ or GENERIC_WRITE, 0, nil, CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, 0) If that returns false, you cannot save a file. In Delphi I could call System.GetLastError - RAD Studio API Documentation and I might learn "why". I do not know if you have that option in C. My guess is that the OS is saying "No" for some reason. Maybe permissions, bad path, file in use, etc. but I don't think there is anything about QPL that should be the source of the issue.
