Hi, I just copied my chartbook from computer 1 to computer 2 where I have a fresh install of Sierra. I put the file again into data folder. But when I try to open the chartbook on computer 2 I get an error "Chartbook file not found: E:\download\SierraChart\Data\scalps.Cht | 2021-01-26 11:17:58.902 *" That is actually the former path from computer 1. I checked the settings under GLobal setting - General settings and everything seems to be fine (proper location of data folder on computer 2 is set). It looks like the chartbook file itself remembers the old path from computer 1 ... Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks. EDIT: also didnt find solution here - https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Chartbooks.html#CopyChartbook Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-01-26 10:38:28

Open the Chartbook through File >> Open Chartbook. The Chartbook will be listed there.

Thanks for fast response. And sorry for not being clear enough. Actually, this is what I did: File - open chartbook and "click on the particular file with chartbook". NOW the message log gives me an error: "Chartbook file not found: E:\download\SierraChart\Data\scalps.Cht | 2021-01-26 11:17:58.902 *" I dont know why is the program looking for the chartbook at this false location... (as I wrote its location of my data and chartbook folder on my other PC) |

This is not making sense. Does that file exist or not? You cannot possibly open a file through File >> Open Chartbook when it does not exist in the list. You would not even be able to select it.

Thank you, your reaction was exactly what I needed. My bad - actually, I was trying to open my chartbook from the list of last opened chartbooks. Thats why the incorrect path. Solved.

Ok that makes sense. You need to clear that list with File >> Clear Recent File List.
