Hi David, I have done as you suggested, but no matter what version that I open that says gnucash that has 14 digits.log I get “file/URI/Users/Lorrie ... gnucash could not be found.” When I double click on a file 2.38.21PM.gnucash I get the same message. When I open the file that ends with a four digit number.LNK it asks for me to choose an application. I choose Gnucash-2.6.18-Intel and my screen choices are in gray so I can not choose them. (And the list is: authors.text, copying.text, documenters.txt, Financequote Update, Gnucash, License.txt, NEWS.txt, and README.txt.) I redownloaded Gnucash-2.6.18-Intel and still no luck. Lorrie
