Apropos, the whole issue ofthehistory of the GNU files, I have been
having a lot of problems trying to get the into a fo that can be senton
here here. There are so many files with very small differences it seems
to "confuse" cutting and pasting.
Could I suggest I try saving individually GNU files from the period
before 30.7.2023, which is when the issue of not being able to save the
files started, as .txt files and sent them over?

Yeah, I'm suspecting the "can't write to file" message is when trying
to save the file back to its original location which is under a
different user than the one who's desktop is front and center at that
moment.
But we'll need that error message screenshot to confirm.
And then there is the obvious backup file(s) mess to clean up. And as
you note, that will likely involve copying files from one user to
another and correcting their permissions accordingly. (before any
cleanup within GnuCash itself!)
I'm not versed on such, but I'm sure someone here is.

p.s. — I used to use Gmail for this list till I discovered the same
problem so I switched to an account provided by my ISP and it has been
a few years with no issues. (though I now use the list via gmane. And
that reminds me, I'm long overdue for a wiki write up for gmane I
promised!)

Wow. I just went to the archives of this list and discovered that
not all
the messages were appearing in my Gmail folder. Specifically there
was a
reply to my first message about providing a path/filename where you
provided
C:\users\administrato\documents is where the only one which "fits" i.e.
where GNU FEB 12 2019.gnucash is. There are literally hundreds of others
to which Adrien has now responded. He correctly suggests that is a
major
part of your problem, and begins to work on a solution. For some reason
that message from you is not in my Gmail, but that is a completely
different problem that is for another place.
Presumably administrato is your root user name with different rights
than
your ordinary Barry Mahon user name. Part of the untangling will be to
aggregate everything under one user name, preferably without root
rights.
I am not qualified to help you with that.
