[GNC] Moving GnuCash data file

[Adrien Monteleone]

Please specify:

1. Is this a relocation on the same machine for the same user? or,

2. Are you moving the file to an external location, or a different user 
or other physical machine or OS instance entirely?

Which type of move you want to do, makes a difference in what steps you 
need to take.

-----
1. For a simple local 'folder' relocation, Gyle's answer is likely the 
simplest way to get it done. (you can also just move the file itself and 
since you are on Windows, double-click to open it, or otherwise use File 
 > Open within GnuCash to the new location)

2. For other types of moves, David & Jim's answers will guide you.

Regards,
Adrien
