I recently updated to 6.5.0 and now data file located on external SAN drive is not opening. However when I download the file to my iMac desktop it opens fine. The SAN version was working okay, which make me suspect the latest Quicken update causes the error.

    The 6.5 update didn't deal with file structure at all, so it's likely some sort of permission problem. Although its worked for you in the past, running the data file from anywhere other than your local hard drive is not recommended because file permission problems can pop up.
