In other words, more-or-less the common case you were pointing to. Oh, and it was last reconciled in 2020, no 2000.

[GNC] Reconcile "Starting Balance" is wrong
I've delayed reconciling my accounts for a long time and am now paying the price by having a lot of entries to go through. For one account, the last time I reconciled it was at the end of February...2020. I've gone through my statements, entered my data, and what GnuCash shows in the register as my balance on 8/31/2020 is correct. And, similarly, what it shows at the end of Feb 2020 is also correct. But if open of the reconcile dialog, the starting balance is not what is shown in the register. This account happens to be my PayPal account, and normally this is a zero balance account in any period. That was what the balance shows in the register as of 2/29/2000. But the starting balance in GnuCash shows as $858. I've already tried check and repair on the account and even on all accounts, restarting GnuCash then opening up the reconcile dialog again, but that doesn't change anything. Any suggestions on how to fix this? roland -- Roland Roberts, PhD Brooklyn, NY USA https://astrofoto.org ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Recovering deleted transaction from log files

But that file is nothing but a sequence of = START = END after the header. Why wouldn't the log have my deleted transactions in it? So I was able to track down the missing transaction. What had actually happened was that I had apparently edited it (obviously in error) and change the account on a payment to a credit card. That removed it's reconciled state in the bank account from which the payment had been made (naturally, it was no longer against that account). I did that the painful way by unpacking the two gnucash files and doing diff, that tracking through the diffs. I'm still puzzled by the log file. I read through some of the gnucash docs and realize that scheduled transactions are special beasts and that those don't show up in the logs, but an edit like this I thought would. My immediate problem is solved, but...I'd like to know what sort of things the logs can help me with since it wasn't as useful as I expected for this case. roland ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] Recovering deleted transaction from log files
Somewhere in the last few days, I managed to delete one or more transactions that were reconciled. I'll blame it on sleep deprivation trying to get through my wife's business accounts and our personal ones, too I went to my gnucash autosave files and began opening them until I found the last one with a good reconciliation and the first one with a bad reconciliation amount. Basically, I opened the account, then started the reconcile dialog and the latest one that showed an opening balance matching what I last has from reconciling was what I'm labeling as the last good one. The next autosave after that has a bad opening balance when I do the same thing. So... I figured the log file(s) between those two should have the missing transactions. But that file is nothing but a sequence of = START = END after the header. Why wouldn't the log have my deleted transactions in it? roland ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
