Re: How can I recover lost transactions
Thank you so very much! I opened the account, then opened the View|Filter By dialogue and voila, it was set to display only one year's worth of transactions. I clicked on 'Show All' and all of my "lost" transactions were found.

Re: How can I recover lost transactions
It is most likely that the transactions are not missing but are being filtered out either by explicit filters or by preference settings for the accounting period although the latter should not restrict the range ofdates dislayed to my knowledge. The accounting period is set under Edit->Preferences and is the first tab in the dialogue and is likely set to the current year by default. This does not appear to restrict display of transactions as I can display several years in the account registers with it set to the current year The second source of restriction may be View->FilterBy which has the capacity to restrict the display to a specific date range along with other date combinations or by the transaction status. There are also other provisions for restricting what is presented in reports as distinct from the displayed account rgisters. Edit->Report Options gives you access to these while a specific report is being displayed.

How can I recover lost transactions
I have a very large gnucash file based originally on a Microsoft Money file. I have been using Gnucash for approximately 3 years with no problems. However, today, I noticed that one of my accounts (an income account) is missing years' worth of transactions. I use the account to track my husband's social security income. I am missing all of the transactions from May 2005 to the present time except for the 12 transactions from 2015. The balance on the account accurately reflects the total value of all of the missing and extant transactions! Also all of the transactions on the other side of the double-sided entry are present and correct (credits to a bank account). The account is a sub-account to a Placeholder account, which is a sub-account to Income. Income Social Security Social Security - G Do you believe the transactions can still be there? Has some file damage damaged a link that can be repaired? Did this happen because I changed the account to a placeholder account? (I have no idea when I did this and have changed computer at least twice since I started using gnucash.) What can I do to correct the situation?
