Corrupted file message

[Thomas Baumgart]

Ian,

sorry for the delay in answering. Currently pretty busy.

That's easy to fix with a working system. Here are the steps to follow:

- open the Edit/Find transaction dialog
- search the ID (in your case T000000000000013982) by entering that
  value in the text search
- modify that transaction, so that it does not use Equity as
  category by replacing it with the matching one
- open the Edit/Find transaction dialog again
- search for "Equity" (w/o the quotes) and fix any remaining
  transactions the same way
- save the file

After that, you should be able to open the file with version 5.2+

Hope that helps

Thomas
