Here are the main reasons with the appropriate procedures to follow:<\/p><h3><strong>MacCompta crashes when opening a specific file<\/strong><\/h3><p>If your files open normally except for one that crashes the program upon opening, it may have become corrupted. In this case, please contact technical support. If you have backups, check if the most recent one opens without any issues.<\/p><h3><strong>MacCompta crashes on startup, even before opening a file<\/strong><\/h3><p>Disable the network connection, both wired and Wi-Fi, and then try to start MacCompta. If the program opens normally and crashes again when you re-enable network access, contact technical support.<\/p><p>If this doesn&#8217;t resolve the issue, it&#8217;s possible that a program configuration file got corrupted due to the abrupt closure of a file or the program. In this case, resetting the preference files usually solves the problem.

This function creates a backup copy of your file, repairs it if needed, and rewrites the entire journal in the order of entries to optimize the readability of your document.<\/p><p>In the preferences of MacCompta, you can set up alerts for when you open and\/or close your documents, enabling you to perform this operation, which allows you to access your accounting data from a previous date at any time.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-19303\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse19303\" aria-controls=\"collapse19303\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-plus\"><\/i> The &#8220;Enter&#8221; key does not work for adding accounts or Ledger entries<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse \" id=\"collapse19303\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-1930\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-19303\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3 max-w-full\"><div class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-3 overflow-x-auto whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"><p>This is probably related to the Keyboard settings in MacCompta Preferences.<\/p><p>MacCompta uses the &#8220;Enter&#8221; key and the &#8220;Return&#8221; key for two different actions.
