Hi Lorrie, I suggest you create a "GnuCash" folder in your "Documents" folder and copy your gnucash files there - that way your log files don't clutter up your desktop. Cheers Dave H (newly transitioned Mac user :-) On 21 October 2017 at 08:47, Lorrie E Clemens wrote: >

Yes, that is it. Where should I store this file after I make changes to it (and save)? Lorrie Sent from my iPad > On Oct 20, 2017, at 3:32 PM, Maf. King wrote: > >> On Friday, 20 October 2017 23:03:48 BST Lorrie E Clemens wrote: >> HimDerek, >> So I am missing a step here.

OK, so I removed the Gnucash that was in my applications folder and mover the Gnucash-2-6.18 in. I double clicked on that and I get the Gnucash window that pops up the the small window that says free accounting software. But I still get that the file/URI/users... cannot be found. I tried

Hi First, when you click on gnucash-2.6.18, you should drag the gnucash app to your /Applications folder. Then double click on the /Applicstions/Gnucash app. The error you see is because it was trying to load the file from your desktop, but you moved or removed it so it can't find it. You

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.

Hi Lorrie, Welcome to GnuCash. For this discussion I am assuming that you have installed GnuCash onto a Windows computer. You only need to do that once. First, create a folder under My Documents called LorrieGnuCashData or something like that. If you have your file explorer set to show file

Hello, I am new to GnuCash. I was able to download all of my information and balance my accounts earlier this month and I did make a copy. While I was doing all of the input I ended up having a lot of GnuCash folders on my desk top. I put them into the trash but have not deleted them. I wanted to
