All the account data is in a single file, whose name depends on what you called it when you did the first save, something like myaccounts.gnucash. If you have moved that file then when you open GC it will try to reopen the original and will show an error when it can't find it. Just ignore that err

It reports that it's corrupt when I attempt to save a valid XML db to MySQL and in fact it is, as verfied through the MySQL workbench. However, I just downloaded 2.6.17 source from the GC web site and it works perfectly! Somehow git cloning 2.6.99 is not the right thing to do. Oops. Thank you, t
