I would like to start using this program in my home environment. The computers in use here are divided between MAC and Windows10. The basic question is if the two versions (MAC & Windows) can share the same data files if they both can access a mutually connected Network disk. Clearly if there

I believe that others will concur that you do not have write permission in the folder containing that data file. Is your user name User? That is also why GnuCash failed to create a .LCK file. You need to make a new folder on your desktop, call it Moira_GnuCash_Data or similar and use file

Exactly!  Since there are two periods in the version number, they cannot possibly be a decimal fraction indicator.  Each number (major version, minor version, & revision level) are separate whole numbers. If one is using Windows 10, go to the "System" page & note the current Microsoft

I think the confusion is that .3 is generally accepted (here in the U.S., anyway) as "0.30". so .3 = .30 Perhaps the number method should be 2.6.03 instead of 2.6.3... For the future, of course. On 11/21/2017 11:14 AM, davel...@mac.com wrote: Please keep replies on the list as it may help
