Data files

[Derek Atkins]

Ron,

It's perfectly safe to move the data to the new location;  it's just
that GnuCash will complain that it cannot find it.  But you can click
through that error box and then move on the File -> Open.  Also, by
moving it (instead of copying it) you reduce the change of errors
where you make some edits to one file and some to another.
