Hi Chris,
I tried that and it didn't help.
As a test, I changed it to GNC_DATA_HOME={ALLUSERSPROFILE} and it
worked. Are there some rules about the way a path is written with
GnuCash on Windows? Maybe '/' instead of '\'? I will investigate
further, but not just now, I need to get on with the day job.
