What file would that be referring to?

The "log" as in the training log, most likely.  I get that error every now and again (I have the file open in excel, which grabs a lock on the file, preventing TF from writing it). 

It's called TFlog.csv and is in your default tracks directory.  I have meant to add that info (path/filename) to the error message.

You can ignore it if you aren't concerned with adding new files to the training log.  If you close the logbook window it should go away.

Problem diagnosed - Apparently the error was the result of my dedicated "GPS" partition becoming full.

D'oh!  I'm about to order a new HD myself -- all of mine are jam full of GPX, maps and photos. 

They have gotten huge since the last time I bought one!  :) :)

It's hard to imagine that there was a time when I had a  "state of the art" machine with a whopping 20 MB hard drive.
But then again, that WAS last century ...
