<p>Moved on with the problem. Although your instructions indicate
that Java will be downloaded, it was not. I have since installed
Jamvm without problems and now the program starts but as I try to
open a file I get an error message :
Java.lang.NullPointerException. Any ideas?</p>
<p>Regards</p>

<p>What file are you trying to open? Is it a moneydance data file
with a .md extension? If it is a QIF file produced by quicken it
should be imported rather than opened. Select
File->Import->QIF. here is an article that describes the
import QIF process.</p>

<p>If it is a .md file you are trying to open could you give me a
screenshot of the entire error message.</p>

<p>It was the program file - see my later post.</p>
<p>I have now got to the Moneydance page that asks what kind of
file I want to<br>
open and then I get a java.lang.NullException error message.</p>
<p>The original problem was due to Java not being installed with
the Moneydance<br>
program I have now installed 'jamvm' Via Synaptic Manager. After
loading<br>
this Java I then get the error message when trying to create a
new<br>
file/account in Moneydance.</p>
<p>Just installing Sun Java 6 re to see if this helps.</p>
<p>Regards</p>

<p>My response was relating to your second post regarding the null
pointer exception. Do you get this error when you try to open a
file if so which file are you trying to open. Or do you get this
message when you try to create a new file. If so please send me a
screenshot of the entire error message.</p>
<p>What java VM did you install? If you did not install the java VM
from sun I highly recommend that you use that one.</p>

<p>Working on two machine at present!</p>
<p>Installing Sun Java seems to have fixed the problem.</p>
<p>Many thanks for the quick response.</p>

<p>Sorry one more slight problem with my Linux install.</p>
<p>On my Windows version I have used the UK updater for my
Investments -<br>
yahooqt2beta4 I can find the folder via my desktop in Linux but how
do I<br>
import via the 'add extension via file' command in Moneydance.</p>
<p>Do I need to extract the files, if so how? I am not sure how
this works in<br>
Linux.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>Neville</p>

<p>You do need to extract the yahooqt2beta4.zip You should be able
to do this by right clicking on it and selecting "Extract here"
although that may vary depending on the distribution of linux you
are using. Once extracted you should see a folder called
yahooqt2beta4. You should run moneydance and select
Extensions->Add. Select "from file" and browse to the folder
yahooqt2beta4, select the file called yahooqt.mxt</p>

<p>Hi it's me again, hope it is OK to email direct on a different
problem.</p>
<p>I am trying to save my md files from my desktop running md on
linux (Ubuntu<br>
10.4) to an external HDD that is attached to my laptop on a home
network<br>
running Windows Vista.</p>
<p>When I click 'save as' in md (on linux m/c) it shows all the
usual linux<br>
places such as Desktop etc but does not show the network or the HDD
when<br>
clicking 'all files'. I have followed the Ubuntu instruction to
make the<br>
network visible in programs on the linux machine and have saved
files to the<br>
HDD so I know it can be done (via .gvfs) but this folder does not
show in<br>
md.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>Neville</p>

<p>The Moneydance save dialogue does not show hidden files or
folders. .gvfs is a hidden folder. One thing you could do would be
to create a symbolic link to .gvfs that is not hidden. For example
enter the following command in a terminal:</p>
<p>ln -s networkdrives ./.gvfs</p>
<p>If you enter this from within you home folder you will create a
symbolic link called networkdrives that points at the hidden folder
.gvfs. You can then browse to networkdrives from the save dialogue
in Moneydance.</p>
<p>A better solution would be to make a mount entry in your fstab
file that would mount the network drive at boot. Though I think the
details of that are a little out of the scope of this forum.</p>
<p>Sincerely<br>

<p>Thanks for this. I have about 50% success with terminal input in
Linux but still working on it.</p>
<p>I have found a program called Dropbox which can be installed on
windows and linux machine and on linux it puts the folder in my
home folder, which is then visible in MD. I can access from my
windows laptop (after installing there) using an account that you
set up. Rather like Google Docs I suspect. My question is do you
have a view on how secure these type of systems are?</p>

<p>I actually use' Dropbox myself quite a bit. Transmission to and
from the dropbox server is encrypted and the files are stored
encrypted on their server as well with 256bit encryption keys. I
feel quite safe using the service.</p>

<p>OK thanks. Will still persevere with the terminal solution I
need to master this methodology with Linux.</p>
<p>No more questions at present, busy recommending MD to friends,
really happy with it.</p>
