Re: gnucash-user Digest, Vol 176, Issue 55

Look at the timestamps of the .gnucash files that have a name and lots of digits (those are the backups of your data). Find the latest of these. The likely cause is that you have been using one of the backups as your actual backups so you have backups of backups. Do not give up, your file is

Christine, I don't think the program itself is your problem. You will require some fundamental knowledge of accounting procedures and theory no matter which program you use. It is also a process of learning the jargonused in a particular program's interface. I know of no accounting program which

Re: gnucash-user Digest, Vol 176, Issue 55

Thanks David, I searched my backup disk, and found 473 instances of .gnucash but no files with the right name, but without the .gcm at the end. I suppose I'll just have to start with a new installation, and put in data from my bank for five months. Ian McAllister On 28/11/2017 01:00 AM,

RE: bank entries

Hello Thank you to Derek for getting me the formal accounts. I have set up my cash account but now I realise that I need an opening balance and it seems I cannot address this at this late stage. I managed to complete it for the bank. I have a cash equity account but I would like the cash to go to

Re: recover GNUcash data after windows crash

Ian, Gcm files are not your data files. They are metadata files. Similarly, the “.gnucash” folder is the system folder that holds this metadata. Your data files (AccontsBusiness.gnucash and Personal.gnucash) are somewhere else on your backup. Put those on your new machine (not in the “.gnucash

recover GNUcash data after windows crash

Hi, I think I sent my earlier message to the wrong address. My motherboard crashed and I needed a new one and re-installed Windows. Fortunately I had a backup of my main folders. I copied the GNUcash folder across from the backup then re-installed over the top of it, in the hope that I would
