Sorry, win 10, it appears somehow when I initially setup gnucash I named the company and told it to store the files in a directory called LLC. I've installed the latest version on new pc (did a comparison on new pc and it matchs the old pc dates and sizes) . copied the LLC folder to new pc. So how do I tell GNU to use the files in LLC folders? Randy
