I've been saving my gnucash files to D:\Documents\<name>\Data\GnuCash\Balsheet.gnucash for a very long time, and never had any issues.
Unfortunately, sometime in the past fortnight (not sure when, but that's the last time I used GnuCash) something odd has gone on. I can no longer open GnuCash files off my D:\ (or save files). However, if I open the same file off my backup drive, it works flawlessly. If I copy the file from my backup drive to my D:\, GnuCash doesn't work, but it will continue to open files on my backup drive. The error message I receive when opening a file from my D:\ is: The server at URL D:\Documents\<name>\Data\GnuCash\Balsheet.gnucash experienced an error or encountered bad or corrupt data. A previous post suggested that it might be a permissions issue, but I have given Everyone write permission to that folder on my D:\ and there's no change in behaviour. When attempting to save an opened file from my backup drive to my D:\ results in the following message: Gnucash could not obtain the lock file for D:\Documents\<name>\Data\GnuCash\Balsheet.gnucash. That database may be in use by another user, in which case you should not save the database. Do you want to proceed with saving the database? Selecting "Save" results in no file being saved. The trace file doesn't seem to be helpful either. When opening I get: * 19:05:47 WARN <gnc.app-utils> Could not spawn perl: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory) * 19:05:47 CRIT <gnc.backend.dbi> [error_handler()] DBI error: 14: unable to open database file When saving a file to the D:\, the trace contens are: * 18:44:23 WARN <gnc.app-utils> Could not spawn perl: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory) * 18:57:19 WARN <gnc.backend> [GncXmlBackend::check_path()] Couldn't find D:\Documents\<name>\Data\GnuCash\Balsheet.gnucash There haven't been any new programs installed in the past three weeks, only the standard Microsoft updates to Maps, Voice Recorder, et al, and an update to Acrobat Reader. I have no issues saving Microsoft Word files to the above path. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be able to try in order to rectify the issue between GnuCash and my D:\ as it is really baffling me?
