My user directories should be on my local F: drive. Any idea how I could double check where GnuCash is looking for my user data files?
When I go to Windows Explorer and type %APPDATA% or %LOCALAPPDATA% it appears to correctly point to the locations on my F: drive. The path appears to be F:\Users\Me\AppData\ then either Local or Roaming. There are no unusual characters. For reference, I have just created a new test gnucash file saved on my local machine's desktop and encountered the same error. My primary drive is my F: drive. Thanks in advance.
