Thanks @HanOostdijk for the followup. Most of my .Rmd files are not in projects and my wd is "M:/R_HOME" which is a network drive. I am superstitous, but maybe a littlestitus, so I tried your suggestion. I created a project named abc. Added the abc.Rmd file as the canned example you get when you create a new Rmarkdown file, and made sure my wd was set to "M:/R_HOME/abc".
