OK, I think did this once already but tried it again. The hidden
folder that use to be in my home directory (Ubuntu 9.1) that contained
the bank.db file was copied to a thumb drive. After I installed Ubuntu
10.04 and downloaded the new wxBanker program I found the folder in my
home folder .local/share with my file browser. I opened it up and
deleted the .db file and replaced it with the .db file from my thumb
drive. Instead of about 100 entries I have 2. I changed the whole
folder out too with the same result. Maybe the original got corrupted,
who knows?
Let me know if you ever incorporate a export/import option in the menu
somerthing like Evolution Mail has.

Take Care,
Glenn

When I put it back into my new Ubuntu release from my back up drive it does not work. Luckily I did not trust it and had continued to use paper to. I guess I will stick with paper until this program gets polished some more.
