    When you downloaded app where did you put it? It should be put in your applications folder. Perhaps you left it in your downloads folder. If not in your downloads folder you can use spotlight search to search for "Moneydance". Once you find it I recommend that you put it in your applications folder.

    Sincerely

    No, all I find is the demo I played around with a few weeks ago. Could this file
    be under a different name or do I have to start all over again?

    Did you save your data file before closing the program? When you first try to close Moneydance you will have been prompted to save your data providing a file name and location. If you did not provide a file name or location and clicked cancel your data will have been lost. If you did save your data and do not remember the name you gave it you can use spotlight search to search for all data files ending with the ".md" extension.

    I must not have saved it.
    Will start over and manually put in info from Quicken again.
    Thanks for your help.
    Fred

    Hi Fred

    I am sorry for the loss of data. Once you have saved your data file at least once you can set an option under File->Preferences->General to "Save on every quit". As well of other settings under File->Preferences->Backup that will prevent further loss.

    I recommend saving your data file as soon as you create it by selecting File->Save.

    Sincerely
    Ben Spencer
