<p>Unfortunately due to significant changes Apple made with its operating system for Catalina, only Moneydance 2019.3 or later will run properly on that operating system. Yes, data files made in the 2015 version can be opened in the 2019 version. Moneydance should check to see the last place you opened your file after you upgrade, but if you need to remind the program where your data files are stored, use the <em>open other</em> option from the Moneydance welcome screen or the menu bar (File -> Open -> Open Other) to select your <em>yourfilename</em>.moneydance data set.</p>

<p>Thank you for your quick response, do you know where the file might be located as default on a MAC?</p>
<p>Thanks again,</p>

<p>For each Operating System the default data locations are given in the document:</p>

<p>I did find the files, but I did something stupid, which may serve as a<br>
warning to others.<br>
I found the archive version and restored that, which worked.<br>
Unfortunately, it was quite out of date, and when I went to close Money<br>
Dance it wrote the archive over the current version, as they had the same<br>
name.<br>
It seems that the lesson to maintain frequent backups always has to be<br>
learnt the hard way.</p>

Are you still able to find it in the location that link described? It would only disappear if you manually deleted it.</p>

<p>However, in the 2015 version the archive does not have a date stamped into<br>
the name, so when I restored it had the same name as the original file.<br>
When closing the application it automatically re-saved the archive into the<br>
main file, overwriting, most likely, the previous file I required.</p>
