You suggest that I can navigate to the file in the thumb drive, but I have not been able to do that directly; none of the available options leads there! So to access the gnucash file in the thumb drive, I must first drag it from the thumb drive onto the "desktop". Then it does appear in the list of available files in response to the gnucash File>Open sequence, as below, 9th from the top, "stbPCGnucash test.gnucash". Uhmmm, is the space in the name a problem? (But that is a file I created subsequent to this problem occurring, so I doubt that).


I think you have still not confirmed one thing, that if, on your
'working' machine you plug in the thumb drive, drag the gnucash file
from it to the desktop, open gnucash, use File > Open and browse to
the dragged in file, what you see then.
