Why can`t I see my data file in Win. explorer ?

[derekp]

Hi. all,

Completely new to Paz, in the process of migrating my accounts, manually, from a very old version of Quicken, brought about by my desire to change from Win. XP Home to Win. 7 Home Premium on a new PC., my old Quicken will not run on Win. 64 bit system.

My Paz version is V.1.9.12.2, current latest I believe and my op. system is Win. 7 Home premium as already stated.

One issue I can`t understand, may well be Win. 7 related.
With the program running, my data file path at the top of the screen shows, C:\Program Files(x86)\Personal Accountz\******.azh, default file path as would be expected.
I have chosen "save on exit" and "backup on exit" options.
The data appears, from the information boxes on exit, to save & backup as requested.
However, I can not find the data file listed in the expected directory, or anywhere else, using Win. explorer ?
Searching for the file within Windows produces zero results ?

I have changed my Windows view option to "show all files", still won`t list.
The C: drive associated backup directory appears to be empty also.
Obviously must be there as the program opens, runs and closes out perfectly !

If I now save by file to a USB memory pen, using the file, "save as" option, I can list the data file and all associated backup files in the area where I stored same with Win. explorer as would be expected.

Anyone any ideas, Win. 7 or program issue or more likely am I just mis-understanding something ?

Regards,

Derek P.

After further experimenting can report :-

The files will list within the Paz program when using the File, Open option, they all appear with a "padlock" symbol applied, different to any of the other files within the same directories ?

I have installed and run the Paz program on another PC running Win. XP Home and the files appear as and where expected within Win. explorer, problem would seem to be peculiar to Win. 7 only.

As far as I am aware, I am working under "administrator" privileges in Win. 7 being the sole user, however, this may not be the case as sometimes I get a pop-up window to the effect that administrator access is required for a particular operation, always appears to go ahead anyway when the window is OK`ed. ?

Anyone any ideas on this ?
