Thanks, John. Encouraged by your confidence in 3.5, I downloaded and installed it this afternoon, from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/ Having mounted the DMG file (Gnucash-Intel-3.5-1.dmg) I dragged and dropped the Gnucash.app across to the Applications folder, and ran it from there on my current (version 3.4) file. On the first run Gnucash shut down without any apparent reason (this seems to be a common finding), but I ran it again and entered a few transactions without trouble. I saved and closed the file as normal. When next I opened the same file the account registers were opened as I had left them, but the program wouldn’t respond at all, and the menu bar had none of the usual menu items, just the Apple symbol and “Gnucash”. I was unable to shut Gnucash down using the usual methods, so had to Force Quit, and when I tried again I got the file lock warning - I said Open Anyway, but the result was the same. I’ve since tried opening the same file with version 3.4, but that behaved in exactly the same way. I’ve also tried downloading and reinstalling 3.5-1, with no change in the outcome. Where do I go from here?
