Have you created a
checking, savings or other account?</p></div>bwellstag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/9861742010-02-08T14:36:39Z2010-02-08T14:36:39Zsaving transactions<div><p>Just some fyi's:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>When you're done typing in the transaction you need to hit
"enter" on your computer keyboard. Otherwise you may still be in
the "edit" mode and the transaction info won't be saved. This also
applies when you're creating a split transaction. When in doubt hit
"enter" on the keyboard just to be sure.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can go to Moneydance > Preferences > General and check
the box for "always save on every quit" and the program will save
all your changes automatically when you close the program.</p>
</li>

I'm sorry that you are feeling frustrated with Moneydance right
now. We are very much concerned with the lack of of 2010 help
documents and are right now working on getting them created. In the
meantime, I'd recommend using the 2008 docs, the FAQs on this
website, and of course you should feel free to ask the users and
support staff on the forum. here.<br>
Did jbnyt's answer help clarify things for you? It's along the
lines of what I would advise, but if its not addressing your
problem, let us know and we'll hopefully get your problem sorted
out.<br>

I have pressed entered and it moves from the bottom to the top. I
can't save and I can't close because I get error messages Error
making backup:java.io-file not found
exception(application/moneydance.md-2010-02-08 permission
denied)</p>
<p>I'm thinking maybe I need to delete the program and start over
again with a new download. I'm also new to Macbook and maybe it is
my lack of knowledge of the Mac. I just left the PC world and there
are some differences between the two. I'm using MAC OS X software.
Do you think starting over would work?</p></div>Joantag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/9861742010-02-09T19:02:57Z2010-02-09T19:02:57Zsaving transactions<div><p>Joan,<br>
It sounds like that you don't have write permission set for the
folder/file that Moneydance is trying to save the file to. To
change the file permissions on a Mac check out this entry on Mac's
help site: <a href=

As to starting over, if the above thing doesn't work, it certainly
won't hurt and may even help to reinstall. If these things don't
get it sorted out we can talk further to try and figure out what
the problem might be.<br>
