HimDerek, So I am missing a step here. I double click on Gnucash 2-6-18 and I get the box with authors, copying, etc. I click on Gnucash and I get the tip of the day, then a box pops up in the left corner saying that the file/URI/ etc could not be found. I must be taking the wrong path. Lorrie Sent from my iPad
