Re: Need help with opening my Gnucash software

[David T. via gnucash-user]

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. On my Win10 Surface Pro, it put it in "c:\Program Files 
(x86)/gnucash/gnucash.exe" --nofile

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.

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.
