Mike, No, there’s no list of GnuCash error codes because we don’t use error codes that way and when we pop a dialog box with an error it has a description of what went wrong. Most other errors are logged in the trace file (see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile). Microsoft Windows on the other hand is infamous for popping error dialogs like that. Google suggests that it’s a connectivity problem with OneDrive. GnuCash file handling is pretty basic: Give it a path and it will try to open the file with the standard C function fopen. If the operating system needs more than that for any particular remote/cloud file access then GnuCash can’t do it.
