Yes, thank you, that worked in that I now have a page with headings and my accounts in total numbers. For example, the first one is Assets, next Dehumidifier, then equity, expenses etc and all except Dehumidifier have totals, but I still can not get into add new inputs. On Tue, Jan 22, 2019 at

Ah, it said it was read only a page or so ago. I keep fiddling with it, hoping to get back to my accounts, but I seem to be making it worse. If I can get the read only thing back I’ll take a screenshot. Sorry. I’m getting a bit lost here. On Tue, 22 Jan 2019 at 21:00, Derek Atkins wrote: > Hi,

If that's a blank page then that means you have no data open. Did you try using File -> New File? That might have done it. Let's start over -- Go to File -> Open and then get to the folder where your data file is located and open it. What happens then? -derek On Tue, January 22, 2019 4:11

Back to the original problem, I would suspect maybe a viewing filter is at play? That *could* explain why some transactions aren’t visible. The read-only problem *could* be a permissions issue on the file itself. If register transactions are the only thing that is ‘read-only’ then I’d say that

A few other suggestions: 1. Which files did you transfer ? While that sounds obvious, it is not always so. So this question is to ensure you really did copy your gnucash data file to the older computer. 2. How have you tried to open your gnucash data file ? It's important to realize that on

David, I am able to run 2.6.19 and 3.4 on the same data file without problem. For most users, there are no such file changes--although I believe there is a date format change in one of the SQL storage back ends that might cause this. Gnucash developers have very carefully ensured that such

Georgina, If the earlier version was 2.6.x ( use Help->About to check the version running) and the version on Mojave is V3.x, there is a file conversion which should be run the first time you open the data file. Most of it is related to changes in the locations of configuration files but there
