Re: Need help with opening my Gnucash software
Rick, It is far easier for the OP simply to click the “Close” button (which continues starting GnuCash, but without loading the missing file) and then using the GnuCash File->Open command to locate their file.

I should add that in Windows, if your path doesn't contain the folder the program is in, you'll have to either add the path or navigate to the directory where it resides at or include the complete path in your run statement.

Sincerely, Lorrie Sounds to me like that was the last file you had opened, then moved/deleted it, so it is trying to open that file again, but it can't find it. If that is the case, go to a terminal window or a cmd window in Windows, and enter the following command: gnucash --nofile (might be different in Apple?) It should open up a blank copy of GNUCash. Then you can go to file/open or file/new to open or create a file. -- Rick Copple ___ 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.

Re: Need help with opening my Gnucash software
Lorrie, From the forward slashes I surmise that you are using GnuCash on an Apple device which has a strange (at least to Linux or Windows users) way to find files. That said, I think that once you get to that error you can click on File> Open > then seach the directory to find your file. I doubt that you actually named it I'm balance, so I do not know where that came from. The spell checker renamed your filename in my previous sentence and experience tells me that it will be impossible to correct.

Need help with opening my Gnucash software
Hello, I have had this problem before and someone was able to help. I have loaded Gnucash onto my hard drive. That was the previous fix. But every time I try to open it up I get “the file URI/Users/Lorrie/Desktop/imbalance .gnucash could not be found” How do I get into my file?
