Disappearing Data

[JUNIPER]

What do you mean, "Copy over the most recent .xac backup file." The most 
recent one is only 4 days old. Can I just change the extension and open 
it? Copy it to where? I have a "Finance" folder that has all of the GC 
files, and I also back the main one (which I call "finance all") up to a 
flash card.

Sorry to be such a dullard here - although I've been using GC for years, 
I have had no significant problems with it and, hence, no opportunity to 
learn how to deal with them!
