Hi Derek,
Yeah - that's kind of where I am as well. It's there and not corrupted. As soon as I move the file out of OneDrive (to my Downloads folder or something like that) it works fine, but when I move it back in, it fails again.
Yes - in both cases - starting GNUCash or selecting and opening it - it doesn't work. In the case of starting GNUCash and File -> Open, I can't even browse my parent OneDrive directory - or get to the subdirectory where my file is.
That's why I suspect there is something about the most recent OneDrive update GNUCash isn't handling well/correctly.

HI,
Well, this shows the file is there and is not corrupted, so I am at a loss as to why GnuCash says it cannot parse it.
If you start GnuCash and then File -> Open, can you browse to the file?
If you select it and click open -- same error?
