Where to find trace files is described here: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile Secondly, the first time you ran gnucash 3.x did you get a pop up window explaining you your metadata was being moved to a new location ? And lastly, did you ever experiment with the 2.7 development series on your current machine ? > > I'm slipping out of scope on the OP topic here, but (in the Windows > environment, if that matters) what is the best practice for data storage? > Am I setting myself up for problems using MySQL?

On the other hand the db formats are improving with each release. We did find a few issues in gnucash 3.0 and 3.1 in this area. So be sure to read the release notes for more details.
