Thanks to inform - 32-bit OS runs on 64-bit OS. I agree this is good enough, rather than wasting resources to build a 64-bit OsS version -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list

You should have a file named “mydata.gnucash” (where “mydata” is whatever you called it. That’s your data file. The other is a log of changes since your last save. You can go to the wiki page I referenced and learn all about Gnucash’s various files. David T. > On Dec 3, 2017, at 12:31 AM,
