I tried OneDrive with gc for a while. It worked until it didn’t. I’m still not sure what happened, but I think MS unilaterally decided to reorganize my OneDrive setup. Gc just did not like what it did and starting one day gc would not open the file. I’m not sure what was wrong, and I couldn’t

Dan GnuCash will create a log file and a backup file copy each time it exits and depending on you preference settings will usually keep a fixed number of them in the same directory as the mainfile. It is good practice to keep your mainfile in its own directory for this reason. The trick is to
