Hello Cesar,

First, when starting a new topic, please create a new message.  If you  
reply to another message, some people might not see it, if they don't  
want to read any more about the old topic.

Second, we need some additional information to help you.  What version  
of KMyMoney are you running?  What Operating System and which  
distribution if it is Linux?  Can you confirm you did not see any  
errors the last time you saved the file?

Before doing anything else, make a backup copy of your data file.   
Also, do you have any backups of your file?  That would help in case  
there really is a problem with your file.

The error about needing to use a very old version of KMyMoney is  
because the program does not recognize the file as a proper KMyMoney  
data file.  The question is why not, and what might have happened to  
the file.  What is the output of "file <filename>" ?  What is the size  
of the file?

We can make more suggestions when we have some further information.
