Many thanks for your prompt reply Allan. Sadly Bank Genie has no output
facility at all. I have queried this with the maker and they confirm
the only thing I can do is try to load from the back-up files, which as
I said before are all .CDX, .DBF and .FBT.
It was indeed a bad move! Windows 10 e-mail program is a load of
rubbish. Edge is awful and also has no way of exporting favourite files
(I have managed to download a work around for that). And now I find the
program I chose to replace the old MS Money, although highly
recommended, has swallowed up my bank data and won't spit it out again.
Fortunately I still have windows 10 on my new laptop, so I will leave
Bank Genie on there as an archive file, and create a new start point for
kmymoney on Linux on this old laptop.
Cheers

It's best to reply to the list so that others can be updated and given a
chance to respond.
What about these last two points?
" It might be worthwhile looking at a linux program called wine, which
can be useful for running Windows programs on Linux, assuming
Bank Genie is a Windows app.
Generally, one installs wine, then use it to install Bank Genie,
which you then run as normal.
Finally, it might be worthwhile trying to open your backup files in a
text editor to see if anything useful shows."

I have just moved over to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and would like to
use kmymoney. I am currently using Bank Genie, which does not run on
Linux and I have several years of data I need to move. Bank Genie does
not have an export facility bt they suggested that if I did a backup to
a memory stick I could use that.
The backup files are all .CDX, .DBF and .FBT. Is there any way at all
of picking these up into kmymoney?
Thanks

Bad move, choosing an app which locks you in.
Leaving aside those backup formats. does Bank Genie have any output
capability? If so, in what format?
