GnuCash 1.7.7 Finding Data

[Roland Roberts]

Still more on this 3.48 transaction.....

I had added a $3.48 transaction to balance a checking account after
some frustration with not being able to balance the account.  I
presumed that I had inadvertently deleted a reconciled transaction
thus throwing everything off.  

However..."Find" can't find any transactions of $3.48, even the one I
am sitting here looking at that I added to reconcile the account.

Additionally, just grep'ping throught the gnucash.data file has turned
up a couple of them, including one about 16 months ago.  The
transaction looks like this:

  <trn:splits>
    <trn:split>
      <split:id type="guid">09eacde686b74bd044d9265e7373a837</split:id>
      <split:reconciled-state>y</split:reconciled-state>
      <split:reconcile-date>
        <ts:date>2001-09-12 00:00:00 -0400</ts:date>
      </split:reconcile-date>
      <split:value>348/100</split:value>
      <split:quantity>348/100</split:quantity>
      <split:account type="guid">c0a27cdc2e4291d0a43b9eda0eeb6770</split:account>
    </trn:split>
    <trn:split>
      <split:id type="guid">fda035ac67f38460d44857998d8f2df8</split:id>
      <split:reconciled-state>n</split:reconciled-state>
      <split:value>-348/100</split:value>
      <split:quantity>-348/100</split:quantity>
      <split:account type="guid">551981999461d2de3fedeb4496612065</split:account>
    </trn:split>
  </trn:splits>

That account ID, c0a27cdc2e4291d0a43b9eda0eeb6770, appears to belong
to our Joint Savings Account, as found in this excerpt

  <act:name>Joint Savings</act:name>
  <act:id type="guid">c0a27cdc2e4291d0a43b9eda0eeb6770</act:id>
  <act:type>BANK</act:type>
  <act:commodity>
    <cmdty:space>ISO4217</cmdty:space>
    <cmdty:id>USD</cmdty:id>
  </act:commodity>
  <act:commodity-scu>100</act:commodity-scu>

The problem is that although there *IS* a transaction in our Joint
Savings register for that date (2001-09-12), the amount is different.

Before I go any further, am I barking up the wrong tree, or does this
look fishy to anyone else, too?
