Anybody having any thoughts.
I have the original scratch pad folder with info intact.
now if try to delete a note (none there) clicking ok closes scrivener.

Have you determined whether the settings for this are pointing to the right folder, since it sounds like you had to reset a drive? Maybe the drive letter changed or something.

The reset was the google drive which stopped updating offline files. The scratchpad is in previous location on c drive and can see the previous files. The messages do not expand.

Okay, well overall it seems to be having permissions issues with that spot. I would try copying the files to a new folder, maybe even just temporarily, making sure they are all read/write, pointing Scrivener there, and see if that works.

If it does, then maybe try moving them back.

Thank for the suggestion. I forgot about the option panel settings for the scratchpad. Iā€™m currently down at the beach, but will follow up on your suggestion when back home in a week.
Thank you Amber.
