MT940

[Sandra Drakes]

HI,

Thanks for getting back to me.  I am able to save the file now.  But I am still not able to import mt940.  I have followed the instructions in the previous posts but nothing works.  I still get a blank page when I import the file.

I have seen that there is mention of recompiling once you make a change.   I simply downloaded the .dmg file and copied it to my applications folder. How is recompiling  done or where do I find out how it's done (in language that a novice to open source can understand). 

Thanks in advance,

Sandra Drakes

I am having the same problem as other's who get an empty file when they import mt940.  I get a message that it is read only.  I am also not allowed to change the permissions.

There's a small lock in the lower right hand corner: Click on that. You'll be prompted for administrator authentication. Once you've authenticated, change the permissions setting for yourself to "Read & Write" and all should be well.
