A "Quit" button makes perfect sense when you've just started Moneydance 
and its loading the last accessed file, but this popup could also occur 
in other circumstances.  If you don't have the option to re-open the 
last Moneydance file set, start Moneydance, open a file where the 
back-up file is ok, make your changes, save, then attempt to open a 
different file where the backup if newer, for what ever reason, then 
you'd get the same popup.  A "Quit" button may not be appropriate here.

Sean may be able to make the buttons context sensitive so we get a 
"Quit" button if Moneydance was opening and a "Cancel" button otherwise, 
but I think a "Cancel" button which just stops Moneydance loading the 
file and just leaves you with Moneydance running but with no file loaded 
would suit both cases.

Just my Tuppence worth,

Richard
