Re: Upgrade, 2.4 to 2.6 creates problems

I think I've now got it. When I opened 2.6.5 it automatically opened with a data-set I could not use. When I clicked on File, and picked one of the suggested files, this also brought up an outdated data-set. However when I clicked on open and picked "yesterday's" file, everything worked just fine.

Indeed, 2.6.1 had several problems. But it sounds possible that there’s something amiss with your file that 2.4 lets slide while 2.6 chokes. If 2.6.5 won’t load it, open a bug and attach the trace file [1] to it. Regards, John Ralls [1] https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile

Eric It is really taxing my brain to remember the early days of release 2 .6 but it is a good guess that 2.6.1 was not a good release. Try going to 2.6.5 as John suggested. David C On Feb 6, 2018 9:13 AM, "Eric Rempel" wrote: I am using 2.4.15. I loaded 2.6.1 and it will not open an up-to-d

I am using 2.4.15. I loaded 2.6.1 and it will not open an up-to-date or complete file of my data. Fortunately when I go back to 2.4 everything is fine. On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 11:20 AM, Fred Bone wrote: > On 5 February 2018 at 7:50, John Ralls said: > > > > > > > > On Feb 5, 2018, at 7:31 AM, Eri

Upgrade, 2.4 to 2.6 creates problems

I have been using Gnucash 2.4 for some 5 years on my Windows 7 system. I'm very happy with it. Over the weekend I upgraded to 2.6.19. 2.6 would not open an up-to-date data file, and when I tried to print a report, the application froze. I have been able to re-install 2.4 and now and everything is w
