error parsing

[Vaughn Family Farm, Bryant]

Thanks for the quick response.  I tried your suggestion with several versions of a .gnucash file.

When I open the file the first time from the thumb drive, it always opens without the error.  After I save the file, then try to open it again from the hard drive or thumb drive, this error comes up.  I've had to change from the linux version to the Windows XP version of GNU cash. Could this be the cause?  If so, what is the proper procedure for using a file created using GNUCASH for linux in GNUCash for Windows?

Thanks, 
Bryant

It looks like you are trying to open the wrong file.  Try using File > Open and browse to the correct accounts file, assuming that you know which it is.  Normally it will be called <something>.gnucash, or just <something>.  I am guessing that it is VaughnFamilyFarm1.gnucash
