Hi. I have a new computer (Mac running Sierra) and just exported my Moneydance file from my previous computer (Mac Mountain Lion v 2015.7 (1358). When I tried to start using MD on the new computer by importing the saved file, I got this error message: Error reading file: java.lang.NullPointerException. What's the workaround to this? Thanks.

    If you have used Moneydance's Export and Import commands I would suggest that you take a different approach, these commands are more for moving data between completely different software programs.

    When what you want to do is to move your Moneydance data to a different machine, for example a new machine when you are updating, then the best approach is to just copy your data set "as is" between machines, using a network share, USB key, USB connected hard disk etc.
