Thanks everyone. It seems like my upgrade journey was successful. The only odd thing is that after I installed 5.10, I started gnucash and it loaded my file OK. Then I tried to run Check & Repair all. The command is accepted from the Menu, but I see no activity in the lower left of the window like I usually see when I run check & repair. Other than that. Everything went so easy.
