[moneydance] AGGH--I destroyed my Moneydance datafile

[Bob Crochelt]

Hi,
how about:
open a terminal window
cd (return)
ls *.md (return)

this should show a list of all the moneydance files on your home  
directory, and you can prove to yourself that it is still there.   
Then, just as MD to open the correct file next time you start it.

If you did over write your "good" file then there should be  a recent  
backup you can use (you use the backup feature, right?)


Good luck,
