very weird quirk noted, copying one computer to another

[David T.]

Simon,

I might try another test. What happens when you open Gnucash on your laptop *without* the thumb drive in? Do you see data?

If so, then somehow you still have a variant data file on your hard drive. You say you deleted everything off the laptop; did you empty the trash as well? I have noticed that OS X often will know that I put something in the Trash, and open it there…
