Still struggling, but making progress! So I uninstalled gnucash 4.10, rebooted, and reinstalled from a new download. Now the app starts and seems to run correctly (I think I may have gotten a corrupted install file via download). But when I run the app and choose FILE, OPEN and point it at my backed up file June2022.gnucash.gcm I get an error "no suitable backend was found for D:\Documents\gnucash\books\June2022.gnucash.gcm" I know this file is good, as it works with older versions of Gnucash on a W7 PC. So I suspect it is a problem with using the new version app against an old version file.
The word "backend" is only found once in the gnucash help, so I am at a loss as to what to do next. I have tried to import, but there doesnt seem to be any import function from older versions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. On Sat, Jun 11, 2022 at 9:50 PM Gyle McCollam <[email protected]> wrote: > Kari, > You say you upgraded from an "ancient" version.
