Continuing on that line of thought, it should be possible to use the tool called General Ledger or General Journal depending on which version you are using to find the missing transaction. You will probably need to open View > Filter By > Date to extend the starting date of the view back to

Anita, You need to start by going to a full backup. Either pick one that you made when you did your last full computer backup (you do make backup s, right?) or pick the last one that GnuCash made with the long number embedded in the file name. Then you can first save that file with a temporary

A lot of us still have old 32 bit machines that have not died yet, but on the other hand today there are many good 64 bit machines available for about $300 to $400. They have really crappy keyboards, no optical drive and other shortcomings but fairly decent displays and performance. You could

That is a clever trick. You could create a separate report for each security, but I suspect that could easily get out of hand. Perhaps someone else has a better suggestion, or perhaps the report could be re-configured to allow selecting the source account. David C On Mon, Mar 5, 2018 at 7:25
