Geert My sincere apologies. Also, my thanks to both you and Derek for taking the time to explain what's going on with the formatting. As I've always claimed - when you're as ignorant as I am it's easy to learn new things. But only if I have someone willing (and patient enough) to teach.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look for older binaries first. I wonder if docker would be an option instead of a virtual machine for building and running older gnucash versions (I have only played with docker a little). Either way, if I get something that works I'll be sure to publish it so

If GnuCash can detect that the file was created by an earlier version which cannot be read and converted automatically to the current version, there should be a way to read which version is needed to open it. Then it should be possible to download a pre-compiled version from some source on the

As I understand, you'd have to load earlier versions and work your way up to the current version. I'm not sure how many intermediate versions you'd need to go through.  However, your newest files in that range predate version 2.0.0 by more than a year. Which means you'd have to download,
