[GNC] Updating from v 2.6.16.

[D.]

2.6.21 is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20%28stable%29/2.6.21/gnucash-2.6.21-setup.exe/download

Check and repair is a menu option within the program itself.

Thank you Fred.

Please excuse my ignorance but from where would I download 2.6.21.

Is the check and repair functions is there a guide as to how to download and run these?

Thank you.
