Question on gnuCash file

[Melinda Savoy]

Robert,

Thanks so much for the reply.  I actually open the file that is on the server itself.  I do have permissions to write to that server because I do it through windows computer with no problem.  When I save the file in the gnuCash application I'm showing no errors but when I go to the server where the file resides I no longer see the file. I realize it sounds weird.  

Here is the sequence of events:

1.   Open the gnuCash application
2.   I click on an account, specifically the checking account, and make my entry.
3.    I click the SAVE button.
4.    I exit the gnuCash application.
5.    I go to finder on my mac and then go to the network share to see if my file is still there and the 2008_gnuCash file is gone.

Thanks again for your help.  Hope this helps in answering my question.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Melinda,

What is the exact sequence of events?  Do you copy the file to your local
drive then open that?  In that case then any file on the server would not
be updated.

Do you open the file on the server, then save locally?  Same result.

In general gnucash should be writing your changed data file to the same
directory as your log file, where is it appearing?

If the original (before any changes you made) file disappears from the
server, than I suspect your problem is not with gnucash.  Do you have
write permission on the server?
