Hi Geert
Since my last post, and after scouring the forums, I've had some success.
I found that the following syntax worked in relocating my user data/config
files to: C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\GnuCash
GNC_DATA_HOME={Appdata}/Gnucash/GnuCash
GNC_CONFIG_HOME={Appdata}/Gnucash/GnuCash

Hi Geert
Following your post I did the following:

- I then edited my 'enviroment.local' file, using both GNC_DATA_HOME and
GNC_CONFIG_HOME as you advise

Can you post the environment.local file you tried to achieve this with ?

Understood, and thanks for the clarification.
I could be misreading the wiki.
Perhaps someone more familiar with the environment variables specifically on
Windows could chime in.

Thanks Adrien for your reply.
Yes, in Windows, the financial data file (e.g johndoe.gnucash) is easily
saved in the location of choice.

To be clear, that variable is not for your accounting books, (user data files)
that is for things like user prefs, CSS or .ini based UI customizations and

Hi
For easier backup, I wish to relocate my user specific application data in
the default directory to another directory on my PC. My operating system is
Windows 10 and I’m using Gnucash v3.7.
Documentation suggests this can be achieved by creating an
'environment.local' file in the same location
