Thanks to Han and RC for your feedback.
I have found a way to make this work.
This seems to be an issue with UNC mapping of shares as opposed to the
usual practice of assigning a drive letter.
I have been able to solve my problem by mapping a network drive using a
letter to my data directory on my NAS device.
(eg Z: is now \NAS deviceData ShareQuicken Directory)
Having done that, Quicken now opens up with no nagging and goes directly
to my data file on the Z drive.
It seems that we have a bug in Quicken in that it won't remember a data
file location if it is accessed solely as a UNC mapped share, we appear
to have to map it as a regular network share and give it a drive letter.
My guess is that this isn't a "Personal Plus" issue I suspect this
behaviour is common to all versions of Quicken, but I can't be certain
since this is the only copy I have to experiment with!
