Roger,

Check the locale & currency settings on the new computer 2.  Sounds to me (but 
I could be wide of the mark) that the accounts are in one currency, but the 
report is trying to total in some other (system default?) currency..

HTH,
Maf.

Re: Backup files ... Report Totals Missing

I tested between Mac and Linux and the report ran correctly on both machines.

I’ll test between Mac and Windows next.

I can’t imagine a copy between 2 machines of the same operating system would 
produce a worse result.

Also, when replying to a digest thread, please replace your digest subject line 
with a copy of the on within the message so everyone can follow along. Thanks.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: Backup files ... Report Totals Missing

[Adrien Monteleone]

Roger,

So you only made a copy. That is, the original file is still in the same place. 
You opened GnuCash, you can see all of your transactions still there, but your 
reports (I presume Balance Sheet in this case) are blank?

Did you go over the report Options? Some reports start blank until you specify 
the accounts, dates, etc.

Regards,
Adrien
