If you *always* log out or shut down the computer with GnuCash still running, you will always get that error. You need to go to GnuCash's file menu and select "Quit" before you log out or shut down the computer. Then that error will go away. > Any help to get the latest 3.8 version working and the program being able to > generate my favorite Expense Over Time Report would be much appreciated. > Leo > _______________________________________________ > gnucash-user mailing list > gnucash-user@gnucash.org > To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: > https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user > If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see > https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Cell: 413-658-7953 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services
