Just be careful when you open GnuCash. It is best to just let GnuCash auto-open the last-used file instead of trying to click on a filemane. When you click on a file to open you're likely to mis-click and not notice that you've opened a backup (which, by default, it stored in the same directory as the main data file). > Thanks, all, You're welcome.

Re: [GNC] Disappearing entries
Are you, by chance, using the “Import transactions from CSV” capability to update your accounts? If so, you should be aware that sometimes the transaction matched is one that has already been reconciled, so it appears that the transaction has been added when, in fact, it has updated a previously reconciled transaction, replaced it as a “cleared” transaction, and then rereconciles it, leaving the account showing a missing transaction. ___ 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.

Well, as it was supposed to happen, all worked out well. Just changed
the biggest file or the one named below to some generic file name. It

Hard to say how bad this is. I'd start with the newest data file (by modificatio
n date) that does NOT include the 14-digit timestamp, and see what was there. Th
at may or may not be the file named "GC January 12 2019.gnucash". More likely it
's newer ("GC January 15 2020.gnucash", for example).
You would then be able to tell how many different times you opened a backup by s
eeing how many log files were created after that last file. Working on a spare c
opy of that last file, you could try running the log files dated afterward to re
create the work. This may or may not work, depending on whether you changed the
account structure. If it works, great. If not, you'll have to recreate the trans
actions manually.
I avoid this problem by only having one simply named basic data file in my data
directory (in my case, "accounts.gnucash"). Backups and dated storage copies get
placed in remote folders to keep the idiot from screwing things up (which he is
very good at!).

Re: [GNC] Disappearing entries
Most probably no complete transactions have actually disappeared, yet your email suggests that you have not ruled out that possibility in your case. If that had actually happened, some other account would also have changed. Granted, if it were an income or expense account, it might not jump out as an error. Has the anomaly always appeared as a starting balance error in a reconciliation, or has it appeared as a discrepancy in a total running balance? Has it ever corrected itself or has it ever been necessary to add a transaction rather than simply re-do the last reconciliation?

Re: [GNC] Disappearing entries
What operating system and what version of GnuCash? Note that changing just about anything in a transaction will unreconcile it, though this should not affect the balance. As for ‘missing’ transactions, do you ever use a filtered view? (I believe an indication the register is filtered will show near the top right) Regards, Adrien > On Jun 17, 2020 w25d169, at 6:34 PM, Carl wrote: > > Hello all, > > For many years a recurring, but not too frequent, problem has been that > in a credit card account entries will disappear or a previously > reconciled balance will be wrong even though I did nothing to change > the account or the bank account it might be associated with. > > Today, for example, I looked at one of my VISA credit card accounts > (that I rarely use), and to my surprise the balance was $4,350.25 even > though, last week, I had reconciled the account and the balance was > zero.

[GNC] Disappearing entries
Hello all, For many years a recurring, but not too frequent, problem has been that in a credit card account entries will disappear or a previously reconciled balance will be wrong even though I did nothing to change the account or the bank account it might be associated with. Today, for example, I looked at one of my VISA credit card accounts (that I rarely use), and to my surprise the balance was $4,350.25 even though, last week, I had reconciled the account and the balance was zero. And, no, I hadn't changed any of the other accounts in GC or imported any transactions so there's no reason from my usage that could've caused this. This same sort of problem has happened enough to make ya' pretty nervous in thinking, "what surprises am I going to find this time?" Any idea how to fix this?
