Thank you both for the responses.

I tried to decrypt my file but that didn't work.

It looks as if something has changed either in GPG or in the KGPG utility
(which I use to export and import my keyfile).

This time the process didn't work, after importing the keyfile the secret
file was showing using gpg --list-key but not using gpg --list-secret-keys.

I'm not sure why, this is something I've done many times before.

Anyway after restoring my .gnupg folder from backup I can open the
encrypted file in KMyMoney.

Thanks again.

Nick
