migrating from Windows 7 to OSX-El Cap

[Robert Comey]

Colin-

When I open the files on the thumb drive on the windows machine using File>Open I am also getting zero values for all accounts categories and subcategories. Interestingly, when I open the same file from the GnuCash folder, the correct values are there, HOWEVER the access date for every access to GnuCash is always the same, 5/15/2014, and not the present date of access. Looks like my data is living somewhere else…any clue on how to determine where and redirect to the GnuCash folder?
Note that all the log files also show the original date I built and installed GnuCash, eg. WWE-GnuCashAccounting.gnucash.20140515161549.log

Thanks,
RC

Accounts and sub account labels transferred properly but values for all accounts showed zero amounts and all transaction history was missing. Version of Gnwucash on the windows machine is 2.6.3 and the new build on the Mac is 2.6.13
