David, I did create subfolder but the same error pops up. I definetly have full access to the folder and subfolder. Is there any special first time steps that I could be missing?

Can you save other documents to that folder? I would recommend creating a special subfolder for GnuCash data files as GnuCash will be creating a lot of temporary files in the same folder.

I am using defaults for a new account to practice/test with. When I try to save as xml I get this error: GnuCash could not write to C:\Users\Joe\Documents\gnucashtest.gnucash. That database may be on a read-only file system, or you may not have write permission for the directory." I do have full access on the folder. Any help would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [2]gnucash-user@gnucash.org [3]https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
