Hi Rowland,

Judging from that file path I assume you are using OS X. You might be able to gain some insight into the problem by checking the permissions for both the file and folder containing the file. To do this the first thing you need to do is quit Moneydance. Next launch Terminal.app in the /Applications/Utilities folder. After Terminal.app has opened type the following command and press the Return key to execute it.

	ls -lad@ /Users/rowlandwren2/.moneydance/tmp/

You should expect the see a something similar to one of these two results:

	drwxr-xr-x  3 rowlandwren2  staff  102 Feb  8 07:52 /Users/rowlandwren2/.moneydance/tmp/

OR

	drwxr-xr-x  3 rowlandwren2  rowlandwren2  102 Feb  8 07:52 /Users/rowlandwren2/.moneydance/tmp/

The important parts are the "drwxr-xr-x" and the "rowlandwren2  staff" or "rowlandwren2  rowlandwren2". If your results are the same there's one more thing to check. Type the following command in Terminal.app and press the Return key to execute it.

	ls -lad@ /Users/rowlandwren2/.moneydance/tmp/findandreplace.tmp 

You should expect to see a result like:

	ls: /Users/rowlandwren2/.moneydance/tmp/findandreplace.tmp: No such file or directory

If the file does exist you should delete it. Type this command to open the folder in Finder

	open -a Finder /Users/rowlandwren2/.moneydance/tmp

In the Finder window select the findandreplace.tmp file, move it to the Trash and empty the trash.  If any of your results differ from what I have described above you should reply to this message and include a copy the results.

Good luck
-SteveL

I thought I might try the find/replace extension but when I try to install I get a Permission Denied Java error, in fact I get the same error for any extension I try to install. 
The message is :- Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/rowlandwren2/.moneydance/tmp/findandreplace.tmp (Permission denied)

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks
