Well, it looks very much like my stab in the dark is very much correct
( see end of msg below). I changed the name of the file in the folder
from which I copied the file to place elsewhere. When I tried to open
the file, it started searching for the file.Properties clearly shows it
pointing to the wrong file.
Good grief. What has Win7 brought?

The question is why does Report see the folder in the wrong folder?
Although I think I've verified matters, I could be off. Is there a
way to ensure I'm really getting to the right folder? There may be a
Win7 problem here. See below.
Here's a diagram that might help. Cap names means folder.
BINGO
EVENTS
a1.txt
a2.txt
report.py
CARDS
track.py
EVENTS
b1.txt
b2.txt
b3.txt
Now copy report.py to CARDS
BINGO
EVENTS
a1.txt
a2.txt
report.py
CARDS
track.py
EVENTS
b1.txt
b2.txt
b3.txt
report.py
While working on this problem, I came up with a Win7 puzzler. It
amounts to this. If I search for files in EVENTS of CARDS for "b", it
only finds one of the b-files. I had a long 1 hour talk with HP tech
support. They had no answer, but will take it up with MS. It may be
related to the first problem. Probably not, but curious. I suspect
that Win7's new folder search has somehow used a filter. I had no idea
of any filter use until I accidentally found it in W7 Help. Perhaps
the filter was some how set. Not by me.
Here's a stab in the dark. Maybe the copied report.py really is a
pointer to the other one?
