Before you can open a data file, you first need to create it, so you 
should first select 'New'.  This will guide you through the process of, 
firstly, selecting your currency, then your account name for the new 
account you are making.  Just follow these steps then, for your country, 
select an appropriate set of account/categories to use.

You should find more detail in the handbook under the Help menu.

Get back to us if you still have problems, but be as specific as 
possible in detailing the steps you have taken, and what you entered, 
and the result.

Don't worry about your English!  You're doing fine, and if we don't 
understand we'll do our best to help.

Hello,

I think you don't understand what I mean.

Firstly, I created file with kMyMoney under Linux Ubuntu platform.
I use it every day.
It contains some datas. It's not empty (so).

I would like change something on it with MS Windows platform.

I launch kMyMoney on this platform.
I open with File/open... this file.

kMyMoney ask me choose devise.
I select Euro and valid.
After it, It like it is empty, but is not it !

Do you understand better what I mean ?

Thank for your answer.

Best regard.

Hi,

We understood your description. It's strange though that I've successfully used KMyMoney files edited on Linux and Windows. Could you attach an anonymous version of the file that you can't edit on Windows?

Does the file have a *.kmy format? Could you try the latest installer to see if this still happens in the latest version? (4.6.3 is old)

Ok, Stephane, we now have a bit more of the picture.

So, you opened an existing file, created on Ubuntu.

Now, have you used the Euro previously with this file?
Was this the first time you used it on Windows?
Had you copied the resource file from your Ubuntu system to the Windows 
system?
If not, the the Windows .kmy file will not be aware of any settings 
previously used.
So, you should now copy the resource file from Ubuntu to Windows. On 
Ubuntu, it will probably be ~/.kde/share/config/kmymoneyrc and on 
Windows.  $KDEHOME/share/config/kmymoneyrc.

I suspect that you getting the message to input your currency was the 
new Windows file starting to be created, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, try what I've suggested, and see if that helps.

Allan

Hello,
sorry for time waiting.

I think I find where comefrom problem.

I have USB External Disk.
One of his partition is on Linux UTF8.
The .kmy file is on it.
I use Ext2fsd on Windows 7 Pro SP1.

When I open kMyMoney on windows and I file open from USB Disk, I have the
problem.
I try to copy on windows directory. And I open it, it's ok.
I don't know why.

Problem is : I use diferently one or the other platform system !

How do other applications behave if you try to open files from the USB stick mounted using Ext2fsd?

This is not an issue caused by kmymoney. Instead this is an issue with Ext2fsd on Windows and need to be reported to the ext2fsd project.
