OK, I loaded the ESJE.gnucash file, and recovered any subsequent changes from the .log file, and all seems OK. I subsequently ran the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss reports without trouble, and exported them to PDF. > > The crash is kind of interesting.

This morning's work had involved: 1. Reconciling a bank account (which involved making a few additional entries). 2. Preparing reports on various asset, liability, income and expense accounts for the financial year (1st November 2017 to 31st October 2018) and exporting them to PDF. 3. Requesting a Balance Sheet for 31st October 2018 - which is the point at which the crash occurred. I have the reports going to tabs, not new windows. In this context, I generally close the tabs involved in each report before moving on to the next, but I can’t swear that this was done before the Balance Sheet request; there would have been a maximum of 3 tabs open at that stage. I’m sure I had completed the reconciliation some time before the crash, because I needed to reconcile before preparing the report on the bank account. Here’s a directory listing for the PDF files in reverse chronological order. | => ls -l -t total 1848 -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 53878 24 Nov 16:10 Profit & Loss-Year to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 48158 24 Nov 16:08 Balance Sheeet at 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 42343 24 Nov 08:08 Liabilities-Loan from Ruth Irons to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 43701 24 Nov 08:07 Income-Work for Third Parties to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 47074 24 Nov 08:07 Income-Shawbrook Interest to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 40246 24 Nov 08:05 Income-Donation to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 252042 24 Nov 08:05 Income-Course Fees to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 44620 24 Nov 08:04 Expenses-Venue to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 56610 24 Nov 08:04 Expenses-Tuition to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 52697 24 Nov 08:03 Expenses-Travel to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 41479 24 Nov 08:02 Expenses-Sound and Lighting to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 73336 24 Nov 08:01 Expenses-Houseparent to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 52530 24 Nov 08:01 Expenses-Bank Service Charge to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 41175 24 Nov 08:00 Expenses-Audit and Accountancy to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 55383 24 Nov 08:00 Expenses-Administration to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 52882 24 Nov 07:59 Assets-Current Assets-Shawbrook Charity Savings Account to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 57312 24 Nov 07:57 Assets-Current Assets-Petty Cash to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 302646 24 Nov 07:56 Assets-Current Assets-Clydesdale Bank to 2018-10-31.pdf -rw-r--r--@ 1 michaelhendry staff 507400 17 Nov 18:42 General Ledger to 2018-10-31.pdf The Clydesdale Bank account was reconciled before the associated report was created at 07:56 today, and the crash occurred at 08:08:42.302 +0000, just after the creation of the “Liabilities-Loan…” PDF report.
