Thats good news John and thank you for confirming and I'm pleased to note Bank Genie is doing the job for you

No need to worry - Bank Genie , Ideas Genie and Flower Genie will all run on Windows 11 when you do upgrade your hardware.

Thank you George!

My fault for not checking for updates (and not running regular backups).

Updates installed and a backup successfully run.

I can't believe I have been running Bank Genie now for nearly 10 years and in that time I've only changed my PC once. Apparently my current one is not compatible with Windows 11, so I guess a change of PC will be required at some point in the future.

Its that wonderful time of year again!
I hope you have passed the frantic stage (Christmas shopping!) and are ready to relax and enjoy precious time with your friends and family

Last week was bitterly cold here in Ireland (around 2 to 4 degrees C) but mercifully the forecast predicts we will have 11 to 12 degrees C) over Christmas.

From our family to yours, we wish you a very Happy Christmas, good health and good luck in the New Year and beyond.

Hi John

RE:

There has not been much activity on the Bank Genie forum in 2024

Indeed John and that's good news for me
Bank Genie has been running smoothly for some time now.
In the New Year, I plan to publish some tips and tricks which some users may not be aware of.


RE:~

file SECRTS is missing

That message means your system has not been kept up to date.
Two things for you to do to get up to date with latest changes.

1.
Under the Help tab, run the program Check for updates.
Install any updates that program initialises for you.

2.
Under the File tab, run the program Special-BS912.
It should indicate Version 28 in the title bar.
Running that program will create the missing file SECRTS for you.
That file is used by the investments program in Bank Genie Pro 6 (which you have) to record Securities.
 
Does that help?

There has not been much activity on the Bank Genie forum in 2024, but I am hopin someone can help.

I have just got around to backing up my data and I have received an error message saying that file SECRTS is missing (see attached).

My last back up was done in 2020!

Any help greatly appreciated

Photobucket has copies. The original images are on CDs somewhere in our Loft.

That is just plain cruel Eric.

The originals are all on Photobucket which is no good as it is a pay for use site now. They will not even let one download your own images without paying.
